Process inputs - 2005 Water Risk Survey: Process inputs - 2005 Water Risk Survey Survey – Table of Contents 1.0 Production Facility Location and Management 2.0 Water Supply 3.0 Water Infrastructure Issues 4.0 Water Use and Production 5.0 Water Quality and Treatment 6.0 Wastewater 7.0 Environment and Social Context 8.0 Conclusion and Feedback


Background on risk categories: Background on risk categories Watershed –sustainability and quality of water resources for the region. Supply Reliability – region’s institutional capacity to provide water to the industrial, agricultural, and domestic users. Efficiency – ability to sufficiently maximize the available water resources in meeting the needs of all users. Supply Economics – direct costs of water, including municipal water cost, fees, taxes, treatment, penalties, and related loss of production/revenue. Trends in water pricing are noted where readily identifiable. Compliance –compliance with Company and external standards and regulations are analyzed. Trends in water regulation and key legislation are noted where readily available. Social/Competitive – awareness of and conflict regarding water issues in a specified region, including the likelihood of targeted TCCC activity.
