MOSL dashes to share business water efficiency data

MOSL has publicly shared its new Water Efficiency Dashboard, developed to shed light on non household (NHH) customer water use to support national supply/demand challenges.

The dashboard uses MOSL’s CMOS data, enriched with data from several additional sources, including 2019 water resource submissions from water companies, the Environment Agency’s 2021 water stress designations, MOSL’s industry type categorisation, and annual water company operational carbon emissions.

Users can filter by NHH supply, supplier and industry segment and by specific attributes relating to water scarcity. Alongside this, MOSL has published three supporting map views to show geographic boundaries and summary attributes for the six water resource planning regions, 23 water company-based water stress areas in England and the 138 water resources in England and Wales.

MOSL shared the dashboard with water companies in August, but is sharing more widely now to enable more people to understand NHH demand and identify water saving opportunities. It pointed out that businesses use around 30% of all water put into public supply and are very diverse in their water use, depending on factors including industry, scale, the customers they serve and where they are located. Further complication comes from the fact that different regions across England and Wales have different water challenges, with some more impacted by water deficits or flooding.
