Eliminating leakage in most cities and townships across the planet could more than double the amount of water available for delivery and drastically reduce global energy use.
The value of water conservation and the need for more innovative water management strategies has never been more apparent.
Since we are a not-for-profit organization, supporting the Water Loss Initiative with your donations will help us to provide valuable training and equipment to rural operators, allowing them to locate and repair leaks in underground infrastructure, directly preventing the loss of millions of litres of water per day.
The Water Loss Initiative will combine donations to deliver District Meter Area pilot studies to rural communities, providing access to valuable experience, manpower and equipment. On occasion, an individual donation may be large enough to support a complete project without additional funds. Such support would let us complete the prescribed water loss recovery work within the donor’s watershed, allowing the recovered water to be identified as volumetric offset credit, balancing against the donor’s existing unavoidable daily use.
“At the local level, increasing access to local water supply and improving the management of water resources is key to sustainable development. Sustainable water resource management is best achieved at the local level where it impacts the community directly and when it enables participation.” - Zéphirin Diabré, Associate Administrator, United Nations Development Program, April 2004.
Over the coming decade, an estimated $90 billion will be needed to manage Canada’s decrepit water system. Eliminating leakage in most cities and townships across the planet could more than double the amount of water available for delivery and drastically reduce global energy use. The value of water conservation and the need for more innovative water management strategies has never been more apparent.
In order to better accommodate the water loss management needs of small municipalities, the Water Loss Initiative will be generating third party funding to provide:
FREE pilot district meter area studies
FREE on-site, hands-on education for municipal Operations staff
FREE quantification and pinpointing of existing leakage within the study area
The availability, cost and quality of water impacts the future success of any business.
More and more companies are finding themselves embroiled in highly public and emotionally charged disputes over a resource considered by many to be a human right resulting in community and regulatory pressure, as well as impacting brand image.
Water constraints pose a potential multi-billion dollar risk for businesses worldwide.
The world water situation is not just about risks. Progress in water conservation can be realized by supporting not-for-profit Water Loss Initiative projects.
Depending on a client's exact requirement, we co-ordinate resources to help you achieve improved internal water efficiency, to provide increased local water system capacity and to communicate those successes effectively.
Our project lifecycle looks like this:
Internal Water Use Assessments: You can opt for various levels of internal facility water use assessments and reporting depending on the complexity of the project, and it may involve site visits by one of our delivery partners. In this step we endeavor to identify any opportunities for improved internal operating efficiency.
Internal Reductions: Once the Water Use Assessment is complete, we provide clients with a Report containing key recommendations for reducing water consumption. Depending on those recommendations, we'll either work with you ourselves or recommend an appropriate expert from our partner network.
External Reductions (volumetric offset projects): We generate volumetric offsets from within your operational watershed by delivering successful not-for-profit water loss recovery programs with local municipalities or water efficiency retrofit and xeriscaping projects with local schools. This can all be completed to certification levels determined by your interests. It is possible to either offset a proportion of your internal consumption (to meet a particular target, for example), or to strive for a more significant volume of offset reducing your local consumption to net zero.
Communication: Most clients want to use their support of a successful not-for-profit Water Loss Initiative offset project as a key element of their internal and external communications. We can take on project work and/or work with in-house and agency teams to help you make the most of the branding for commercial and environmental benefit.
Your support of the Water Loss Initiative will provide a small community with desperately needed water efficiency education, increased water system capacity and improved community health through the delivery of one of our not-for-profit community projects.
