There are a number of reasons why the hospitality industry should be at the forefront of reducing water usage. For starters, it would benefit them: Hotels will often pay twice for the water they use, purchasing fresh water but then disposing of it as waste. It’s been estimated that they could cut down their water use by up to 50 percent, per guest, per night if they put the right processes in place.
The ethical argument is more compelling. Water is a scarce resource, and everyone has a duty to reduce the amount that they waste. Reducing the amount of wastewater requiring treatment in turn lessens the overall risk of water pollution.
