The CII sector uses the equivalent of more than a million Olympic-sized swimming pools of water annually. NRDC estimates California businesses could save about 25 to 50 percent of that water with efficiency measures, or as much as 700,000 -1.3 million acre-feet ?EUR??,,????'?????<

While the CII sector has made some progress over the last decade, there is still a tremendous potential for improving their water efficiency and lowering their bills. For example, the report reveals: Commercial dishwashers use 25 percent of the water in commercial kitchens. A water-efficient commercial dishwasher would reduce that water use by 25 percent. If hotels install water-efficient washing machines, they can cut water use by 38 percent; Landscaping, such as at office parks, schools, parks and street medians, is responsible for one-third of the CII sector?EUR??,,????'?????<

The complete report, Making Every Drop Work: Increasing Water Efficiency in California?EUR??,,????'?????<, is available online from NRDC.
