Water Flow Map + Baseline on a Single A4 Create a simple visual map showing where water enters a location, where it is used, and where it flows out. In addition, provide an initial baseline based on 3–4 straightforward indicators, such as: - liters of water per day - main water‑using processes or equipment - cost per 1,000 liters - where possible: indirect water consumption (a rough estimate is sufficient) Top 3 Water Users & High‑Potential Quick Wins Identify the top three areas where the most water is used or wasted.
