What is the total amount of water stored, measured in cubic meters (m3)?
CSRD
To calculate the total amount of water stored in cubic meters (m³) by your company, you need to follow these steps:
Identify Water Storage Systems:
Determine where water is stored within your operations. This may include:
Water storage tanks (for industrial, potable, or non-potable use).
Reservoirs or pits for water storage.
Rainwater harvesting systems.
Cisterns or basins for collecting runoff or wastewater.
Collect Data on Water Storage Capacity:
Gather the volume data for each of the storage systems identified above. This could be listed in your water management reports or can be obtained from the specifications of the tanks, reservoirs, or other storage facilities.
Ensure that the storage volumes are measured in cubic meters (m³).
Sum the Storage Volumes:
Add up the water storage capacity for all the relevant storage systems across your company’s operations.
Formula:
Total Water Stored (m³)=∑Water Storage Capacity per System (m³)
Consider Time Period:
If you track changes in stored water over time (e.g., seasonal fluctuations), ensure that the data you collect reflects the current total amount of stored water, or specify if the amount is recorded at a specific point in time.
