What is ISO 46001?
Water is a rare commodity in many parts of the world, only a fraction of the world’s fresh water is available for irrigation and water supply, leaving some parts of the world with access to fresh water and others to experiencing drought. The reasons are various, climate change is one of the main factors. Other key factors include human consumption and the development of high-intensity water methods in production and agriculture.
The growing needs of the world’s population for water are inversely proportional to the availability of water. As we cannot produce more than what already exists, the only solution is to be more efficient in the use we make. ISO 46001 is the only international standard published to help your organization to achieve water savings, reduce operating costs. Water efficiency management system reduces the gap between human needs and water availability.
