Integrated Online Training Programme On Water Audit-A tool to achieve Water Neutrality

As different parts of the world have been facing water scarcity lately, there is a dire need to conserve this most important resource. The industrial sector is the second highest user of water after agriculture. Although the industrial sector accounts for only 10% to 15% of the aggregate annual water demand in developing countries, water is a critical input for process and cooling requirements in a majority of the industries. In this regard, industries are thriving to move towards being water neutral, which refers to balancing the amount of water used with the amount of water replenished or offset.

In order to achieve water neutrality, water audit is a foundational step as it helps organizations understand their water use, identify areas for improvement, and implement measures to balance their water consumption with replenishment efforts.

With this background, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) is launching an integrated training programme on Water Audit: Tool to Achieve Water Neutrality.
