A broad objective of the water conservation strategy for the industrial water users sector is to ensure that industrial water users (including mining and power generation) utilise water more efficiently for their own benefit. A first step in the process is to understand and know quantities of water that are used for core business (production) as well as the quantities and composition of "other" water use. It is known that improvements in water use efficiency, as a spin-off, can lower energy use and improve raw materials utilisation, which in turn lowers pollution of the natural environment. This inherently multidisciplinary undertaking requires full involvement and commitment of the industrial water user. It is important to recognise that "of the shelf" solutions are not available. This implies that each case should be considered on its own merits, taking cognisance of relevant basic principles governing both the production processes and the water management and control. has know-how and willingness to assist in various aspects of water conservation in the industrial sector. We understand the water part of the problem and appreciate the multidisciplinary nature of the industrial water use.
