Experienced Water Management Consultants for Operational Efficiency
At The Ecoefficiency Group, we provide strategic guidance as experienced water management consultants, helping businesses understand and reduce their water consumption through precise analysis and practical recommendations.
Water efficiency is no longer optional. With growing environmental pressures, operational costs, and regulatory compliance requirements, businesses must proactively manage their water use. Our services offer a clear pathway for organisations seeking to improve performance, reduce costs, manage risk, and demonstrate environmental leadership.
We work closely with your team to understand current usage, detect inefficiencies, and develop tailored strategies that deliver results.
In-Depth Business Water Audit Services
Our business water audit process delivers accurate insights into how water is consumed across your facility. Unlike desktop reviews, our audits involve detailed on-site inspections and metering to allocate water use to systems, equipment, or processes.
Audit activities include:
- Site walk-throughs with facilities or operations teams
- Installation or analysis of sub-metering
- Mapping of water flows from source to discharge
- Evaluation of system efficiency and leakage risks
- Cross-checking usage data against utility billing
These insights uncover waste, inefficiency, and cost-saving opportunities that are often missed in standard reviews.

Integrated Sustainability Support
Our business water audit services are delivered in the context of broader sustainability planning. This includes integration with:
- Energy audits and management strategies
- Waste reduction initiatives

- ESG framework development and disclosures
By engaging our water management consultants, clients gain access to multidisciplinary expertise that supports whole-of-business sustainability improvements.
Supporting Compliance and Risk Management
Many sectors now face expectations to measure and report water consumption, particularly under local planning requirements, social license to operate or environmental frameworks. Our audits help businesses document their water use accurately and align with these emerging obligations.
We also assist clients in preparing for future risk, including drought management planning or engagement with water authorities.
The Ecoefficiency Group are able to assist companies to undertake Water Stewardship which is the fair and equitable use of water within your catchment. This is an important way for companies to prove their social license to operate within their area and show how they are contributing to the good of their community.
The Ecoefficiency Group stays informed on industry-specific requirements, helping your organisation demonstrate due diligence and future readiness.
