Total water consumption fell by 6.1 percent to 16.9 million cubic meters. While  the portion of total water consumption accounted for by freshwater remained nearly constant, the use of water from our own sources showed a 16 percent year-on-year drop. At 43.2 percent of total water consumption, it is now significantly lower than the share of freshwater taken from public supplies. Recycling systems play the main role in ensuing that this valuable resource is used efficiently at our locations.
