Excellent tour as usual, Mr. Lanza was once again an informative and entertaining guide. The tour of the laboratories, the water treatment and the wastewater facilities, with the explanations that are an integral part of the tour give one of the most informative insights into these aspects of water management. What is for me particularly interesting is that this is undertaken by a commercial undertaking and we are told the reasons why it is so important for their business. I think that we come away with a much better understanding than from other facilities. The fact that Mr. Lanza has years of experience of working in the industry as well as his previous background with the water authority means that he is able to bring all that background and put it at our disposal.
Among the aspects that we did not cover were the potential impact that climate change might have on the undertaking – it would have been instructive to have heard what Mr. Lanza had to say. The other aspect, of a more technical nature would have been to consider the efficiency of water use within the two production facilities and how you would go about doing a water audit in order to determine this and then compare this against a benchmark set of figures. This would also then feed into how you would go about estimating the water demand and consumption of the facilities for given levels of production.
