This module provides a database of case examples provided by GEMI members that have been used in a wide range of industry sectors to manage water wisely. It also contains reference links that provide specific water-related information. This module can be used to identify case examples that may apply to your facility with the intent to improve overall water resource management within the facility and in the community. In addition, examples have been provided that outline methods to improve overall efficiency of specific operating equipment.
The user is encouraged to review the operations, scan through the available case examples and referenced information, and identify potential new opportunities where these examples can be applied.
