Water is a vital and seemingly cheap resource for industrial facilities. Businesses need to understand how water interacts with their industrial processes because treating and moving it around a plant, is not cheap.
When you only use water once in your industrial process, you are allowing all the money spent on energy and treatment chemicals to go down the drain. For businesses to stop this from happening they need to look at ways to reduce, reuse and recycle water. However, simple water audits fail to consider how this vital liquid affects every part of the business. This means the true cost of water is never identified.
