Audit – Industry
Water risk audit
Anticipate water shortages and secure your production
Shortages, restrictions, ageing infrastructure… A supply disruption can paralyse your production.
With our water risk audit, identify the vulnerabilities of your industrial sites and take the right decisions to protect your production.
An on-site approach that guarantees continuity of production
The water risk audit is an in-depth on-site analysis of your resources, infrastructure and practices. It gives you a clear, actionable vision for anticipating, securing and optimising your access to water.
Analyse your water resources
Identify your water resources: borehole, community supply, groundwater, etc.
Analysis of existing infrastructure
Assessment of water sources (boreholes, rivers, networks), interconnections and back-up facilities.
Identification of critical points
Outdated equipment, level of dependence on water, analysis of back-up solutions.
Adaptability to a crisis situation
Assessment of your ability to anticipate the impact of a water cut or restriction.
An expert, hands-on approach to reducing water risk for industry
We combine advanced hydrological analysis with on-the-ground expertise to detect hidden faults in your water supply.
01.
Data collection
We send out a detailed questionnaire beforehand to understand your specific requirements:
- Origin and type of your water supplies.
- Volume consumed and critical needs.
- Availability of back-up solutions.
02.
On-site intervention
Our hydrogeological experts are available for :
- Audit your infrastructure (boreholes, networks, back-up systems).
- Discuss with your technical teams and plant managers.
- Test the reliability and capacity of your back-up systems.
03.
Analysis & Development of a targeted action plan
We will provide you with a clear report including :
- A risk rating grid (e.g. obsolescence, dependency, adaptability).
- An explanatory note for each criterion assessed
- An action plan to be implemented to secure your supply.
Long-term support from hydrogeologists

Your benefits
in securing your water supply
- Ensure continuity of production
Without water, production grinds to a halt. Securing the supply means guaranteeing smooth operation, without costly interruptions. - Strengthen your resilience in the face of crises
Droughts, conflicts of use, climate change. Secure access minimises the impact of these hazards and protects your business. - Meet your regulatory obligations
Water standards are becoming increasingly stringent. Being proactive means you can remain compliant, avoid penalties and retain a competitive edge. - Enhance your company’s image
A responsible industrial company that manages its resources sustainably is becoming an important criterion for its customers, partners and investors.
Case study
An industrial site in Picardy avoids a production stoppage thanks to our action
A food processing plant depended on a single borehole for its water supply. In the event of a breakdown, production could grind to a halt for 48 hours, resulting in a loss of one million euros.
01.
Weakness identified
Dependence on a single borehole, lack of back-up solutions and interconnection with other boreholes.
02.
Proposed action plan
Installation of a second connected borehole and a buffer tank.
03.

Our audit service is aimed at all industries that use water in their manufacturing processes, whether as an essential ingredient or for specific production and quality requirements. It is particularly relevant for :
- Food: production of beverages, processed and dairy products, where water plays a central role in formulation and health safety.
- Pharmaceutical industry: manufacture of medicines and medical devices requiring ultra-pure water.
- The luxury industry: top-of-the-range perfumery and cosmetics incorporating specific or thermal waters.
- The electronics industry: manufacture of components requiring ultrapure water for cleaning and production.
Our water risk audit service supports these sectors by guaranteeing optimised and secure water management at every stage of the process, thereby reducing risks and ensuring compliance with the most demanding standards.

Carrying out a water risk audit for your industrial site strengthens your company’s position with insurers by demonstrating proactive risk management.
Some insurance companies require the implementation of prevention and resilience measures in the face of water risks.
A detailed auditprovides guarantees that your infrastructure is secure and demonstrates your commitment to a controlled management approach.
This approach improves your company’s reliability, strengthens your credibility with insurance companies and may enable you to obtain more advantageous cover conditions.

Once the audit has been carried out, the critical risks linked to the industrial site’s water supply are identified and we propose concrete actions to reduce them. These actions can be divided into several categories.
- Securing the water supply
Diversification of water sources: addition of a second borehole, connection to another source (collective network, different water table).
Setting up a buffer reserve to guarantee a minimum stock in the event of a temporary break in supply.
Agreement with the local authority to prioritise supply to the site during periods of water stress.
Check the capacity of the public network to compensate for a stoppage in the main supply. - Strengthening resilience to water crises
Drawing up a business continuity plan specific to water: identifying critical processes and actions to be taken in the event of a shortage.
Setting up real-time monitoring with sensors to anticipate drops in water table and borehole levels.
Training teams in best practices and reflexes in the event of a drought alert or power cut. - Regulatory compliance and anticipation
Checking and updating declarations relating to water abstraction and environmental obligations.
Adaptation of abstractions to comply with regulatory thresholds during periods of restriction.
Setting up automated regulatory monitoring to anticipate legislative changes and ensure compliance with standards. - Monitoring and tracking changes in risks
Installation of a continuous monitoring system with EMI Industrie to monitor water levels, quality and the impact of measures taken.
Annual reassessment of water risk with an update of the site’s Water Stress Index.
Integration of hydrological and climatic data to adjust strategies in line with long-term trends. - Optimisation and reduction of operational risks
Preventive maintenance of boreholes and supply infrastructure to avoid unforeseen breakdowns.
Improving crisis management protocols to react more quickly in the event of a problem.
Working with local stakeholders (local authorities, water associations) to improve management of periods of water stress.

Our EMI water resource management software adds significant value after the audit, enabling continuous monitoring and optimised management of water resources:
- Real-time monitoring of consumption and infrastructure.
- Early detection of anomalies (leaks, pressure variations, over-consumption).
- Analysis and recommendations based on the data collected, for informed decision-making.
- Anticipating water risks by integrating external parameters such as the weather and the availability of resources.
- Improved compliance and traceability thanks to automated documentation and monitoring of actions taken.
By integrating the EMI solution after the audit, your company benefits from intelligent, automated control of its water management, guaranteeing sustainable security of supply and a reduction in operating costs.

The water shortage risk audit follows a three-stage process, the duration of which varies according to the size and complexity of the industrial infrastructure:
- Data collection (2 to 4 weeks)
- On-site intervention (1 to 2 days)
- Analysis and development of a targeted action plan (2 to 4 weeks)
A well-structured audit enables vulnerabilities to be identified, risks to be anticipated and water supplies to be secured over the long term.
