How Aqua Plus water stewardship programs work

Aqua Plus is a collaborative at scale water stewardship program which operates at the nexus of water, technology and industry.

Why water leakage matters for your business

Around 30% of the world’s piped water is lost to leakage. In water-stressed regions, this places pressure on supplies and increases multiple risks to businesses and their operations. Aqua Plus water replenishment projects rapidly benefit the watersheds that source those operations.

Support supply chains

One in five companies reports significant water risks in its supply chain. Aqua Plus rapidly improves local water supply resilience

Avoid stranded assets

Experts put global business exposure to water risk at $300bn. Aqua Plus helps assure the continued viability of investments.

Comply with disclosure

Forty per cent of G20+ areas impose or plan water-related disclosures. Aqua Plus provides independently validated results.

Volumetric results your stakeholders trust

All Aqua Plus’ volumetric water benefits are independently validated by using water strategy and data experts at Bluerisk or Limnotech. They use the World Resources Institute’s respected Volumetric Water Benefit Accounting (2.0) methodology.

VWBA is science-based, best-practice framework for credibly quantifying the impact of water stewardship activities. FIDO Tech contributed its expertise to the latest version.

Benefits of Aqua Plus for corporations

Aqua Plus Powered by FIDO AI is designed to make sure corporations with ambitious water goals meet targets in a way that’s transparent, effective and easy to manage.

Secure resilience and growth

By making more water available locally, Aqua Plus sustains business and supply chain operations in water scarce areas. This helps secure returns on capital investments as well as continued growth. FIDO AI’s insight into the condition of the networks your operations rely on can even help you manage your business risk register.

Impress customers and investors

Increasing numbers of surveys show that consumers, stakeholders and investors favor businesses that take positive action to safeguard local water sources. Demonstrable action on a societal risk like water waste boosts your Social Licence to Operate, enhancing your reputation and brand value.

Make progress towards net zero, too

It takes carbon to treat and pump new water. By reducing water lost to leaks, Aqua Plus reduces the need for utilities to replace it. This eases the pressure on sensitive wetland environments, reduces the need for additional expensive production facilities, and helps keeps water bills down.

Testimonials

Water challenges can be complicated and daunting. And yet, there are many simple ways we can save water and ensure we are getting the most value from every drop.
