Speaking on the occasion, Mr.Bratin Roy, AVP and Head, energy and environment services at TÜV SÜD South Asia said that, “The water availability per person in India has shrunk by 70% in the last six decades and the industrial demand for water is set to rise by 57% by 2025. Identifying the urgent need to efficient use of water, the industry and the government have initiated steps to incorporate changes in their processes by adapting best practices, sensitising employees and people at large. Considerable investments are also being made by the administration to generate awareness about water use, efficiency, conservation and management. Our services are aimed at helping businesses sustainably optimize usage of water.”
