Dear Dave - @Dave Johnstone  Many thanks for your inputs. It is indeed valuable. I am from Larsen & Toubro, India. We have done the water footprint mapping and also made quite good progress in reducing water consumption. I am looking for per person domestic water consumption in IT sector. In india the norms for water supply in residential area is 135 liters/person/day, however it varies from 50 lits to 150 lit/persons/day in cities and within localities.  I am looking for a benchmark in IT industry for per person water consumption. An employee spends average 8 to 10 hrs in office and IT unit has other recreational facilities for employees as well. We already have segregated pipelines and meters (fresh & recycled water) and measure the consumption (at some places on hourly basis) and have reduced water intensity at company level by 12% in last three years (more details at sustainabilityreport.larsentoubro.com). I intend to set a target and need to decide with technical inputs rather than assumptions. As for CO2 and energy their are quantified targets (for absolute and intensity values), however for water these are missing. Hence your further inputs are encouraged on water footprint.  Regards, Kaustubh
