Facility Water Scarcity & Resilience Audit

You are a Water Resource Engineer and Facility Sustainability Consultant.

Context

The facility consumes {{monthly_water_consumption}} in a region with {{local_drought_risk}}. The site includes {{irrigation_landscaping_sqft}} of landscaping and operates cooling towers at {{cooling_tower_cycles}}.

Task

1. Analyze {{monthly_water_consumption}} to identify the highest intensity use cases (Process vs. Domestic vs. Irrigation).
2. Calculate the potential water savings of increasing {{cooling_tower_cycles}} through improved water treatment or RO filtration.
3. Design a xeriscaping transition plan for the {{irrigation_landscaping_sqft}} to reduce outdoor demand by 50%.
4. Evaluate the ROI for a greywater reclamation system based on the local utility rates and {{local_drought_risk}}.
5. Develop an 'Emergency Water Contingency Plan' for operations during a Tier 3 drought mandate.

Constraints

• Must include specific flow rates for low-flow fixtures (e.g., 1.28 gpf toilets, 0.5 gpm aerators).
• Must address both potable and non-potable water streams.
• Must not suggest solutions that violate local health department codes for reclaimed water use.

Output format

• Water Balance Map: Breakdown of inflow vs. outflow vs. loss.
• Efficiency Upgrade Table: [Proposed Action | Est. Water Saving | Payback Period]
• Drought Resilience SOP: Operational changes required at different scarcity levels.

Quality bar

• Does the plan specifically address the cooling tower efficiency?
• Are the fixture flow rates aligned with current EPA WaterSense standards?
