This report, prepared for Atlas Electrica S.A., provides recommendations on how Atlas Electrica S.A. can reduce water consumption in their factory. This report contains detailed analyses of all water consuming processes in the factory, information on pollutants and regulations and possible methods for using the wastewater produced in the plant. There were four areas identified to reduce public water consumption. Implementing all four recommendations will cut Atlas' water consumption by 11%, thereby fulfilling the original goal of the project.
