AquaFund grants for water efficiencies

Mon, 14/11/2011

AquaFund is a £700 million grant designed to enable organisations to make water efficiencies and financial savings. Derived from the HM Treasury's ‘Invest to Save Budget', the scheme has been set up to help UK public and private sector organisations reduce water costs and consumption without the need for any budget. Typical grant allocations are £100,000 to £500,000 and can be used for professional water audits and detailed technical surveys; supply and installation of water saving equipment; monthly monitoring and targeting reports against benchmarks, and other projects.

Free Webinar: Water Savings In Haemodialysis - Focus On Salvage of Reject Water

Date: 
23/11/2009
Location: 
Online

This high grade gray water is needlessly 'lost to drain' by most dialysis services. Yet simple and affordable methodology exists to save this water.
