Support for Business Water Efficiency
For a water efficiency project in a business, with priority stated for industrial businesses. Studies up to 70% and investments up to 65% depending on the criteria; diagnosis, expected gains and regulatory compliance to be documented.
The Nouvelle-Aquitaine regional water efficiency aid targets businesses that measurably reduce their water consumption. The catalogue mentions up to 70% for studies and intellectual services and up to 65% for investments, depending on size, the project’s ambition and zoning. To build a strong application, start from a quantified diagnosis: baseline consumption, the most water-intensive items, expected savings and measurement methods.
