This is a guest post written by Snehal Desai, global marketing director for Dow Water and Process Solutions.
It demonstrates how successful management requires the effective handling of two participatory processes: the stakeholder water management process and the co-engineering process required to organise this.
Water abstraction, the process of taking water from a source for industrial or domestic usage, can only be carried out under licence from the Environment Agency.
The list is to be used to decide which sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) should have money spent on them to prevent over-abstraction by water-companies, which is the process of removing water for domestic or industrial use.
However, they don't have enough facilities to process water for 300, 000 people.
Fab 15 will be TSMC's next "green fab" following Fab 12 and Fab 14, incorporating green concepts in energy conservation and pollution control in its design, including a process water conservation rate of 85%, reclamation of rainwater, recirculation and reuse of general exhaust heat, and development of solar power generation and LED lighting applications.

His opposition to torture included the process of water-boarding, a technique McCain said began during the Spanish Inquisition.
Some worry about the amount of water used in the process.

But councillors in Bath fear the water courses which supply the springs in the World Heritage city could be contaminated by the process, or that water could change direction through new fractures in the rock.
For every two gallons of water the plant takes in, its reverse osmosis process will make one gallon of fresh water and send back to the ocean one gallon with twice the salinity level.
The water leftover from the extraction process, known as tailings, contains arsenic, mercury, napthenic acids and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Fracking is the process of blasting water at high pressure into shale rock to release oil or gas held within it.
In many cases, a toxic sludge is created when metals and other toxins are removed from water used in the manufacturing process.
Some scientists have proposed adding chemical tracers to fracking fluids as a way of confirming that any contamination of drinking water comes from the drilling process.
About 25, 000 wells a year are being fracked, a process in which water, chemicals and sand are injected at high pressure underground to release trapped natural gas.
Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is a process of forcing water mixed with chemicals through deep wells to shatter and crack hard shale rocks to release the gas inside.
The process involves pumping water containing small percentages of other materials into the porous shale under pressure to hydraulically fracture it and release the trapped oil and gas.

He said Holyrood could put a levy on the water used in the distilling process, a suggestion backed by another former economic advisor to the government, Sir George Mathewson.
It is the process of moving water from an area with a low concentration of dissolved material, such as salt, to a place with a high concentration, by passing through a membrane.
That's a big improvement from the 1970s, when Sidney Loeb at the University of California, Los Angeles, was working on a process to desalinate water and came up with the idea of using osmosis to generate power.
While different sectors can be in competition over water, it is clear that all the benefits of water are required for sustainable economic development, and therefore green policy should be based on the premise that water unpins the entire green process.
How much economic impact will a slower permitting process on shallow-water drilling have in the region?
She says she's in the process of selling her water business and drawing up a business plan for Checkerboard.
Fracking is a controversial process that involves pumping water and chemicals into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas.
It reached a crescendo in Pavillion, Wyoming where EPA has been investigating whether the fracking process polluted the drinking water there.
"The process also uses less water and energy - we simply use coloured bottles to avoid using dye, " says Alex Lo, the company's managing director.
The focus of the deal between Nocera and Tata revolves around the use of catalysts to produce power by splitting water molecules, similar to the process that occurs during part of the photosynthetic cycle.

This process of combining of water, cement paste, sand and rock creates an awful lot of CO2 gases - which are linked by some scientists to global warming - about five to 10% of the world's total emissions.
In doing this, I've got deeply involved in the full process from recycling the water from the clouds, bringing it down, filtering it, using it domestically, in low quantity and with grey water products outpouring from the house that goes straight into the crops that we are growing.
