Improving the water efficiency of small community water systems and farms across the planet could more than double the amount of water available for delivery to communities and drastically reduce local energy use.
The value of water conservation and the need for more innovative water management strategies has never been more apparent.
Our Community Water Share program has been created as a not-for-profit initiative that uses your financial support to deliver water efficiency improvements to local farm irrigation systems and water loss management solutions to local communities.
Your financial support of our work gives you the truly unique opportunity to counterbalance (offset) your own daily water consumption. With your support, we will complete projects near your home or workplace that will save an amount of water equal to the amount of water that you consume in a typical day, effectively negating your impact on the local water resources.
On average, municipalities are losing approximately 20% of all water sent into the distribution system through uncontrolled leaks in aging and stressed infrastructure. In Canada alone, this water loss has been estimated to equal hundreds of millions of litres each day.
Not only is this water loss a needless waste of a precious resource, it is also important to consider the wasted energy required to pump and treat that volume of water, only to be poured into the ground where it will remain locked in the soil, unusable for decades.
In order to better accommodate the water loss management needs of small municipalities, the Water Loss Initiative will generate third party funding to provide:
FREE pilot district meter area studies
FREE on-site, hands-on education for municipal Operations staff
FREE quantification and pinpointing of existing leakage within the study area
In the process of completing just one Municipal water loss management project, it is possible for us to recover more than 100,000 litres of water per day. This water is no longer being wasted each day and is now returned to the community water supply for future use. That amount of water is equal to the daily consumption of nearly 300 Canadians.
Agricultural use of water accounts for nearly 70% of all water used throughout the world, and the majority of this water is used for irrigation. With a growing world population, expected to increase by 2 billion people by the year 2030, agriculture needs to find a way to use less water or to use water more efficiently.
Considerable water savings can be achieved through the use of the best management practices and up-to-date watering techniques such as smart sprinkler controllers and drip irrigation which can help to increase crop productivity and decrease the volume of irrigation water required by more than half.
In order to improve the operational efficiency of local farms and to realize a large volume water savings, the Water Loss Initiative will generate third party funding to provide:
FREE crop irrigation system audits
FREE irrigation system efficiency retrofits and modifications
FREE on-site, hands-on education for property staff of new systems maintenance and operation
In the process of completing just one farm irrigation efficiency project, it is possible for us to conserve thousands of litres of water per day. This water is no longer being lost each day to overwatering or evaporation and is now returned to the community water supply for future use.
