Well, you have to focus on the meaning of the word “produce”. It is said much of those 630 gallons are used to grow the grain to feed the cow. To produce a logical and usable water footprint analysis, at some point, the analysis chain has to stop and implementation of established conservation goals must begin (else, we would be worried about the eating habits of the cow’s grandparents, great-grandparents, etc.).
So how does a firm like ours help you get this task done right? The most important thing for us to do is to accurately gauge your current water usage. We also look for preventable water losses, as well as carefully factoring in estimated changes in future needs. Then begin correcting the losses and crafting a meaningful, not detrimental, plan to conserve. We believe a water footprint analysis benefits from this sound foundation of carefully calculated actual usage, and then adding the (logical) “virtual”, or embedded, water usage tracking.
To be truly worth the effort and cost, a water footprint analysis report should also be an updateable, “living” report. Our services would not stop when the report is finalized.
