Why Water Audit is Critical for Your Facility
A water audit is not only a conservation exercise—it is a practical engineering tool to control operating costs, reduce losses, and improve compliance. For most facilities, water usage is spread across multiple systems (process, utilities, domestic, cooling, landscaping and treatment). Without a verified water balance, hidden losses such as leakages, overflow, excessive backwash, incorrect metering and unaccounted reuse can remain unnoticed and continue for years.
A structured audit helps establish a baseline, identifies high-impact opportunities for reduction and reuse, and provides actionable recommendations that can be tracked through KPIs. It also supports statutory and stakeholder requirements where groundwater abstraction, discharge, or sustainability reporting is applicable. Elion’s approach focuses on measurable findings, clear prioritization, and implementation-ready recommendations—so the audit translates into real operational improvement.

8-Step Water Audit Process (Implementation-Focused)
The following process is followed to ensure the audit results are measurable, practical and suitable for compliance and management review.
Step 1 — Data Collection
Collect water bills, source details (municipal/borewell/tanker), STP/ETP logs, drawings, and process/utility consumption data.
Step 2 — System Mapping
Map sources, storage, distribution networks and end-use points to define audit boundaries and critical nodes.
Step 3 — Site Walkthrough
Validate physical conditions, identify leak/overflow risks, verify operating practices, and confirm actual usage patterns.
Step 4 — Measurement & Verification
Verify metering adequacy; perform flow checks/spot measurements where required to validate key consumption streams.
Step 5 — Water Balance
Prepare a source-to-discharge water balance, quantify losses/unaccounted consumption, and establish baseline KPIs.
Step 6 — Efficiency Opportunities
Identify conservation, reuse/recycling, process optimization and monitoring opportunities with feasibility considerations.
Step 7 — Compliance & Controls
Review applicable CGWA/SPCB/CPCB requirements (where applicable) and suggest controls, documentation and monitoring approach.
Step 8 — Reporting & Closure
Issue an implementation-ready report with prioritized recommendations, timelines and measurable performance indicators.

FAQs
Is water audit mandatory?
May be mandatory based on CGWA, SPCB or project requirements.
Which standard is followed?
BIS IS 10430.
What is a Water Audit?
A systematic assessment of water consumption and efficiency.
Do you require plant shutdown for a water audit?
Typically no. Water audits are usually conducted during normal operations. Temporary isolation/controlled access may be required for selected verification points as per site safety procedures.
What information should we keep ready before the audit?
Water bills and source details, borewell/municipal/tanker records, storage and distribution layouts, STP/ETP logs, major equipment/process water consumption details, and any internal KPIs or compliance requirements.
Can the audit quantify potential savings?
Yes. The report includes a quantified baseline and identifies loss and efficiency opportunities. Savings potential is provided as estimated ranges based on verified data and site conditions; actual results depend on implementation.
How is the scope and commercial determined?
Scope and effort are determined by facility size, number of sources and consumption points, process complexity, availability of metering, and reporting requirements (statutory/ESG/management).
Does it support ISO and sustainability reporting?
Yes. The audit outputs support water performance tracking and documentation needs commonly required in sustainability reporting and environmental management systems (as applicable to your organization).
Which facilities benefit most from a water audit?
Facilities with high water intensity or multiple water systems—manufacturing, FMCG, pharma, hotels, hospitals, campuses, and sites with reuse/STP/ETP systems—typically benefit significantly from loss reduction and monitoring improvements.
