Ashok Kumar S

Water audit is the measure of impact the organization has on water resources. Water audit does this by determining organizations’ water consumption and the amount of water lost from a distribution system due to leakage and other reasons such as pumping inefficiency, unauthorized or illegal withdrawals from the systems and the cost of such losses to the organization. Comprehensive water audit creates a detailed profile of the water distribution system, maps water intensive units, thereby facilitating effective management of water resources with improved reliability. It helps in diagnosing of the problems faced to recommend appropriate solutions. It is also an effective tool for realistic understanding and assessment of the present performance level and efficiency of the water management service and the adaptability of such a system for future expansion.
