Outsourcing Specialty Water Management Projects and R & D to the Experts
Can Save Money and Prevent Costly Mistakes
December 1, 2008, Atlanta, GA ----
In an era of rising cost of water and resource management, and risks
facing the private sector, the need for expertise in water quality,
water-efficiency, and risk management will create new challenges for
companies and their supply chains. Effective planning, design, and
selection of the best new-tech, high-tech and clean-tech water
management solutions and communication platforms require
specialization.
Outsourcing specialized water quality, water
supply, water-efficiency, risk management, technology, and corporate
communication services can save money and prevent costly mistakes. An
outsourcing arrangement with specialized water quality management
experts can add value to multinational enterprises, small to large size
companies, public organizations, government agencies, and NGO's.
Independent
water management experts possess point-of-difference know-how and
experience in diverse water-related processes. They help their clients
become more efficient in water quality management by providing targeted
technology solutions and knowledge. They recommend, design, implement,
and support effective SCM (supply chain management) solutions,
practices and methods that meet specific needs and requirements.
Specialized water management experts know how to reduce water waste,
improve OEE, optimize use of energy and chemicals, and mitigate water
risks. Designing the most effective water management plans, selecting
new-tech water management systems and high-tech ICT platforms creates
the need for specialized knowledge, experience, and expertise in-house.

Water Management Quenches More Than Thirst
November 19, 2008, New York, NY (H2oInstitute) --- Waste minimization and resource efficiency have become business imperatives in the current economic climate for companies concerned with cost control and keeping up their green credentials.
The increasing demand for freshwater and cost of water, can have a dramatic effect on the corporate and industrial landscape. Using less water and reducing water waste, can be a significant cost saving measure for companies in the face of an economic recession. In addition to economics, it is very important for businesses to take steps and show their commitment to more effective water management practices to achieve both financial and environmental benefits. Growing legislation is driving businesses to adopt greener practices with directors being held personally liable for the environmental conduct of their companies. In the past years, the courts have handed out fines, community service, and even imprisonment for company directors for non compliance to legislation.
With water, energy and chemical costs continuing to rise and changes in the economy and public policy, there has never been a better time to lead the way in using resources wisely, improving OEE, eliminating waste, mitigating risks, and raising environmental standards. The savvy business leader recognizes that resource efficiency is not an expense but a money saving measure to be embraced and a responsibility that should be shared between employers and employees to have the biggest impact.
The timing is now to take advantage of unique new Water-Efficiency and GSC (Greening Supply Chain) programs, new-tech water management tools, and high-tech ICT solutions offered by the H2oInstitute. These programs and solutions will help companies meet the growing challenges of greening their supply chain. These new unique programs come at a time when many companies will be planning for 2009 and should be considering ways of boosting their productivity and profitability and managing water risks effectively, while keeping operational costs down in the face of global economic uncertainty and a weakening currency.

A Fast Growing Demand
For New-Tech Water Risk Management and ICT Solutions
Will Generate More New Jobs
and Billions in Revenues Worldwide.
November 10,
2008, Atlanta, GA (www.H2oInstitute.org) ---- With a World Water Crisis
unique opportunities arise. This means thousands of new companies, more new
jobs, and billions in revenue generated by new water management technologies, innovative ICT solutions, and expertise that help mitigate water
risks caused by global warming. "This is the kind of economy we want to build
today, and leave for the next generation", says Minna LeVine, Liqum Global, Atlanta, GA.
We can combat the
World Water Crisis by using affordable and effective technologies, proven
methods and practices that are designed to improve water management efficiency.
Specifically this means, reducing demand for freshwater, energy and chemicals,
and preventing natural and intentional contamination of our water sources and
drinking water distribution systems. Effective new water risk management
solutions are available now for water suppliers and water users to take
advantage of.
New-tech water
monitoring and measuring systems, combined with cutting-edge ICT
tools, enable effective water management and innovative solutions which move us
towards achieving sustainable environmental, economic and social
development. Online, wireless and mobile communication make information and
knowledge available in real-time, anywhere at any time increasing water
management productivity and communication opportunities. In fact, companies can mitigate
their water risks, and monitor and measure their water-efficiency, by designing
effective water management plans that include new-tech early detection and
warning systems, high-tech ICT and data handling platforms, and mobile water
quality monitoring and measuring devices. These new solutions, proven methods
and time-tested practices were designed to improve accuracy and efficiency to reduce risks, water footprint in supply
chains, and improve industrial OEE to increase productivity and profitability.
One of the cheapest
and most effective ways to contribute to the solution is to raise awareness
about what individuals, communities, business leaders, companies, industries and
policy makers can do to help the water crisis in their own communities and
companies. By using the latest water risk management solutions, and today's
cutting edge technologies and know-how, we can cut water and energy usage, and
optimize chemical usage. This will cut water waste, improve productivity and
profitability, and create new jobs and revenue for companies committed to water
sustainability, and those providing technologies, expertise,
products and services to industrial water users, water suppliers, and public
policy makers.
