WATER MANAGEMENT…SCALING UP ON POSITIVITY

As in previous years, we have maintained our focus on water sustainability. ACL is committed to conserve and use water resources in a responsible manner. All our plants track water withdrawal and consumption. Plants send monthly Water Management Reports (WMR) to Corporate Office for information and discussion in Regional as well as National Executive Committees of top management. Thus, Water KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is used to compare performance of different plants as also with respect to improvement over past performance.

The Total Volume of Water Withdrawn From Various Sources (Jan-Dec, 2013)

As compared to 2012, our total water withdrawal volume in 2013 reduced by about 15.3%. Although our water purchase from municipal supply and 3rd party increased by 3% but we reduced our water consumption by reducing ground water use by 11% and surface water use by 7%.

About 10,35,032 m3 of water which is 16.6% (approx.) of our total water withdrawal from various sources was recycled and reused in dust suppression, gardening & other purposes after treatment in Sewage or Effluent treatment in Sewage or Effluent Treatment Plants (STP/ETP) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plants.

Most of our plants do not discharge any water or waste-water in natural resources like land, streams, lakes or ponds etc. In 2013, the total water discharged by three of plants was about 12759 m3 which is about 0.2% of our total water withdrawal.
