Project Overview

BAW has set a group aspirational target of 10% efficiency improvement in water withdrawal (municipal sources) intensity by 2020FYE against a business as usual scenario, off a 2015 baseline year, further supported by BAW's Water Use and Management Policy. BAW has adopted the MAR (Measure, Avoid and Reduce) methodology to managing water. Water monitoring systems are in place and if required relevant water treatment facilities would be introduced.

BAW has set a group aspirational target of 10% efficiency improvement in water withdrawal (municipal sources) intensity by 2020FYE against a business as usual scenario, off a 2015 baseline year, further supported by BAW's Water Use and Management Policy. BAW has adopted the MAR (Measure, Avoid and Reduce) methodology to managing water. Water monitoring systems are in place and if required relevant water treatment facilities would be introduced. BAW is committed to efficient water use through reduced withdrawals, increased recycling, rainwater harvesting and storage initiatives. The use of MAR as a water management methodology reduces the impact of water supply disruptions and possible limitations placed on water withdrawals by reducing water use in the group.

Project Results

BAW is committed to efficient water use through reduced withdrawals, increased recycling, rainwater harvesting and storage initiatives. The use of MAR as a water management methodology reduces the impact of water supply disruptions and possible limitations placed on water withdrawals by reducing water use in the group.
