Dear Phadke,
The water footprint of an individual is the amount of water they use in and around their home, school or office throughout the day. It includes the water used directly, like that from a tap as well as the water used indirectly, like the water it took to produce the food they eat, the products they buy, the energy they consume and even the water they save by recyclingThe water footprint allows us to answer a broad range of questions for companies, governments and individuals.
For example:
1. Where is the water dependence in my company’s operations or supply chain?
2. How well are regulations protecting our water resources?
3. How secure are our food or energy supplies?
4. Can I do something to reduce my own water footprint and help us manage water for both people and nature?
start looking for ways and means to reduce the water consumption, which can be by way of reducing leakage, avoidable uses, consider to use / reuse fresh water and To use water tap like railways.For detection of underground leakages ultrasound may be used.
There is lot which can be done for large entity to reduce consumption of water, energy and increase the use of alternative energy in systematic manner over a period.
