We are committed to working together with local water utilities and businesses to find practical and effective opportunities to optimise water use. Water Efficiency Management Plans (WEMPs) are a key mechanism for tracking water use performance over time and a useful framework for progressing towards best practice management of water use. That's why we've developed a template to help you with this.
Preparing and implementing a WEMP involves:
- Documenting and considering recent water use patterns
- Developing an understanding of where and how water is being used
- Identifying, quantifying, and planning water savings opportunities
- Planning to continually improve monitoring and tracking
The benefits of WEMPs include:
- Improved management of water consumption resulting in reduced water-related costs
- Support of broad community efforts in reducing the likelihood that greater restrictions are introduced in the future
- Change in staff behaviour and strengthened reputation
- Streamlined water use reporting
- Improved awareness of upgrade opportunities and feasibility
