ITC's TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE

STRATEGY 3: Enhancing A Positive Footprint: Through Rainwater Harvesting
ITC: A WATER POSITIVE CORPORATION 7th YEAR IN A ROW

We continued to develop additional rainwater harvesting potential within our own units, as well as through watershed development projects in socially relevant areas.

The watershed projects as on March 31, 2009, covered nearly 44,000 hectares of land and sustained our ‘Water Positive’ status for the 7th year in a row.

Todate, the total rainwater harvesting potential created by us is nearly two and a half times the net water consumption by all our operations (The amount of actual rainwater harvested is dependent on the actual rainfall and the pattern of rainfall).
Water balance at ITC 02-03 03-04 04-05 05-06 06-07 07-08 08-09
Fresh Water Intake 24.1 22.48 24.98 25.58 25.79 27.46 32.72
Treated effluents discharged 14.64 14.04 19.55 20.96 19.58 18.92 24.52
Net water consumption 9.49 8.44 5.43 4.62 6.21 8.54 8.2
RWH potential created within ITC units 0.24 0.39 0.34 0.61 0.47 0.42 0.50
RWH potential created through watershed projects (till 31.3.09) 12.5 15.67 16.52 18.99 23.12 25.42 19.43
Total RWH potential created (till 31.3.09) 12.74 16.06 16.86 19.60 23.59 25.84 19.93*
All figures in Million KL
* In 2008-09 lower ‘RWH potential’ figures account for silt deposits in various watershed structures. The adjustments are based on actual sample measurements & the extent of silt deposit depends on the age & location of a structure.
