Industrial development is the backbone of the economy in many developing and transition countries. However, some industries are still water inefficient, despite the availability of vast amounts of information on water efficiency. There are many strategies that can be implemented to deal with the issues of efficient water utilisation at the level of the industry.

In many companies there is a high number of leaks and spillages within the production processes. Simple measure like replacing valves can be used to reduce water loss and spillages.
