Water use
Water consumption target for 2007
These targets are set and measured by BAA Heathrow, but were not included in the scope of ERM's assurance work
| Issue | Target | Score |
|---|---|---|
| *Water consumption | To reduce water consumption by 2% against the business as usual forecast between January and December 2007, through improvements in water conservation | Target bettered |
In 2007 water use at Heathrow was down by 13% compared to 2006, against a 2% reduction target for the year. Some of this reduction is due to the work undertaken on detecting leaks. However the majority of the reduction is due to the construction of Terminal 5 entering a less water-intensive phase.
The table below show the total water consumed and the amount used per passenger.
