Abstract
The main aim of this research was the study of the current status of the elaboration and implementation of the Efficient Use and Water Saving Program - PUEAA, by the company “Lubricantes Cerón La 23”, and its subsequent approval by the competent Environmental Authority. In order to promote an adequate management, use and operation of the processes carried out by the company, a program was formulated under the guidelines of the PUEAA, established by the Environmental Management Administrative Department (DAGMA), which is the jurisdiction’s competent environmental authority. This program is focused on the optimization and sustainable use of water resources, through the identification and characterization of the events with negative effects on the environment, and the establishment of adequate control and mitigation measures.
After analyzing the main dataset, obtained from the primary information survey of the company’s processes, a proposal was designed for the elaboration of the Efficient Use and Water Saving Program - PUEAA, following technical, practical, simple and financially viable alternatives that
allowed reduction of water consumption and an efficient use of water resources. Hence, this program was developed through five individual stages of data collection, diagnosis, characterization, data analysis, and program design, aiming to follow the guidelines established in the Law 373 of 1997 "Law of water saving and efficient use of water".
The results included the reduction of the monthly average of water consumption for each car by 10%, in comparison to the average of 2016 and 2017. Furthermore, the percentage of water saving was increased by almost 2% in comparison to the licensed volume of well water for the years 2016 y 2017, in addition to the detection and repair of water leaks in the process.
