One-2-Five®Water
One-2-Five® Water is a tool designed to help organisations to quickly and simply establish effective processes for managing water. It can achieve significant and sustainable savings in water use, and waste water generation by applying a strategic approach to water management.
One-2-Five® Water:
- Offers a systematic approach to water management, which helps organisations quickly and simply identify where improvement is needed and how actions should be implemented.
- Enhances existing business systems so they are able to minimise cost and reduce risk in water and wastewater management.
One-2-Five® principles have been 100% tried and tested over many years in actual environmental projects.
The environmental profile of an organisation and its compliance with regulations is often determined by how well it manages water. Water can also be a significant expense in terms of water supply, disposal, product loss and site infrastructure. In recognition of these pressures, organisations are increasingly strengthening their policies and risk management programs for resource management.
There is also increasing awareness that improving the management of resources such as water can deliver significant bottom line savings. This recognition and awareness provides an opportunity for water utilities to become more involved with organisations that are seeking to improve their water management performance. In doing so water utilities are also able to meet their own strategic goal of reducing pressure on existing infrastructure and meeting government and community expectations (e.g. demand management plans).
When seeking to be more proactive with industry, water utilities often need to overcome the barrier of being seen simply as suppliers and / or defacto regulators. Pricing policies, technical advice and passive guidance can be used to encourage improvements, however, these do little for enhancing long-term relationships. Offering water audits is also a method of introducing new concepts, however, these tend to have little impact when delivered outside the core business processes.
The key to delivering value to customers and achieving sustainable reductions in water use and wastewater generation is engaging senior decision-makers in a process that makes business sense. One-2-Five Water does this.
