Water Audit
Water audit is a systematic evaluation of water source and consumption in a facility and assess its efficiency, identify areas for improvement and suggest implement measures to conserve water and reduce waste. The audit involves a review of water bills, meter readings, plumbing, fixtures, and appliances to detect leaks and inefficiencies, and also evaluate water management practices. The goal of a water audit is to lower costs, conserve water and improve the efficiency of water usage.
The water audit process involves the following steps:
- Data Collection: Collect data on water usage, including volume and cost, from water bills, meter readings, and other sources.
- Analysis: Analyze the data to identify patterns, trends, and inefficiencies in water usage.
- Site Water Audit Planning: Conduct a site survey to identify water source, consumption, treatment and discharge in the facility, identify the areas for measurement of flow and pressure and any leaks in the water system.
- Measurements: Conduct field measurements to quantify water from source, consumption and wastewater stream line; power Measurement of pumps/motors; Measurement of suction & discharge pressure at various pumps; wastewater sampling & analysis and preparation of water balance diagram.
- Identification of areas of improvement: Identify areas for improvement in water usage and efficiency, such as fixing leaks, reducing water consumption in high-use areas, and replacing outdated fixtures.
- Reporting: Prepare a report summarizing the findings of the water audit alongwith area of improvement, investment required for water saving schemes or Cost Benefit Analysis.

Guidelines of Water Audit
As per notification from CGWA dated 24th September, 2020 and its further amendments, all industries abstracting groundwater in excess of 100 m3/day is mandatory required to undertake annual water audits through certified auditors and submit the reports to CGWA.
Ingenyria provides water audit services to help you determine the quality of your water, and how to improve it. We can provide a free analysis of your water supply, as well as recommendations on how to improve it. Our results will be used to make recommendations regarding what needs to be done with your water system in order to ensure that it meets regulatory standards.
We will conduct an audit of your water system, including:
- Water flow and pressure
- Water quality
- Operational efficiency
- Water balance diagram indicating Source, consumption, discharge and losses of the facility
- Specific water consumption
- per KL cost of the facility
- Qualitative assessment of supplied water and STP/ETP treated water
- Quantification of inefficiencies, leaks and loss of waterÂ
Ingenyria also provides service for Impact Assessment Report/ Groundwater Modelling Report focuses on the effects of water on land, and can be used to determine an area’s water resources.
