Environmental experts and local businesses will be sharing their knowledge at a workshop taking place on Thursday (16th March) in Glasgow, to encourage companies to improve efficiency and save money by minimising their water usage.
Some of the most important water issues will be highlighted at the ‘Big Splash – Water Efficiency Training Workshop’ taking place on 16th March in Glasgow. The event is being hosted by Envirowise and will include a number of speakers sharing advice on water efficiency.
The Big Splash workshops are designed to provide companies registered to the campaign with a better understanding of: the importance of water savings; water legislation; water use and effluent production; how to save water and effluent - practical options and the WaterTechnology list.
The workshops are aimed at senior executive and facilities/environmental managers or other staff with a responsibility for measuring and monitoring water use. With a practical focus the workshops will provide attendees with a range of advice and assistance that will enable them to return to their workplace and save the company money.
