Water Audit

Analyse the use of water on your farm!

Recent weather patterns in Britain and elsewhere have brought the question of water supply into a sharper focus.  We are all increasingly aware of our social responsibility to use (and re-use) water sensibly, with the minimum of waste.  Costs of water will undoubtedly rise in future years, and if shortages continue, legislation and regulation will become ever more stringent.  Farming is particularly dependent on a reliable supply of water, whether for livestock or crops.  Some farm assurance schemes (e.g. LEAF Marque) are already including water use and management amongst their criteria.  The FWAG Water Audit can meet all the needs of these schemes.

The FWAG Water Audit analyses the use of water on your farm, setting a benchmark figure for efficient use.  It suggests ways in which cost savings can be made through improved water management, and examines the potential to recycle water or harvest roof-water.  The management of dirty water and surface water in the farmyard also comes under the spotlight.
