Comments on: Lockheed Martin Reduces Annual Water Consumption by 11 Percent http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/03/24/lockheed-martin-reduces-annual-water-consumption-by-11-percent/ The Executive's Daily Green Briefing Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:47:55 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jack Pouchet http://www.environmentalleader.com/2009/03/24/lockheed-martin-reduces-annual-water-consumption-by-11-percent/comment-page-1/#comment-115193 Jack Pouchet Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:26:58 +0000 http://www.environmentalleader.com/?p=12274#comment-115193 Excellent move by Lockheed Martin in taking a responsible approach to their water use and management. We expect that this will soon become a mandate especially in the Western parts of the US experiencing drought and throughout the EU as a normal course of business. It is only a matter of time before the data center industry along with those in manufacturing develop a unified approach to measuring and reporting their WUE - Water Useage Effectiveness. A measure of productivity per unit of water. Emerson Network Power is helping the Green Grid and others in developing productivity based metrics. We believe WUE is one of these metrics that must be defined in 2009. Excellent move by Lockheed Martin in taking a responsible approach to their water use and management.
