Questionnaire form – submission of entry

Category – Industrial Water Use Efficiency

Eligibility: Any industry unit belonging to one of the following water intensive sectors (Thermal power, steel, textiles, pulp and paper, refinery, metallurgy and mining, cement, chemicals and fertilizers, sugar, engineering, FMCG) who have carried out measures for water efficiency resulting in saving of water in the industrial processes. Units who have carried out water conservation measures for at least a period of three years are eligible to apply in this category.

Maximum 2 entries per company are allowed.

Screening process:

Entries will be screened for their eligibility and selection for the final round will be on the basis of the following parameters:

  1. Level of adoption of technologies requiring less water per unit of production resulting in measurable reduction in water use (specific water consumption);
  2. Adoption of rainwater harvesting and artificial recharge mechanism to recharge groundwater or use it in industrial processes;
  3. Adoption of wastewater treatment for recycling wastewater (including treatment of effluents) and its use;
  4. Awareness creation on water related issues amongst their supply chain and employees; and
  5. Transparency measures/ Water Audits and voluntary disclosures

Selected entries that clear the screening will make a presentation to the jury in New Delhi. The jury will evaluate the entries and select the finalist. Site validation of short listed entries will be done by Jury and winners will be selected. The decision of the jury will be final.
