Moreover, 420,752 m 3 of industrial waterfrom the Po River, in Italy, and Lake Lugano in Switzerland, was used as industrial water for the cooling systems. As such, a total of1,009,475 m 3 of water was withdrawn.Almost all of the water consumed comes from municipal or state water mains; only an extremely small quantity of the water consumed,equal to 0.1%, is groundwater, which is used only rarely, above all in the summer, in Austria (200 m 3 ) and Germany (170 m 3 ). In addition,240 m 3 of rainwater was collected using special tanks at some sites in Germany and then reused.The increase in consumption recorded in Switzerland in 2012 was due to the greater use of water for the DPC cooling system. The highper capita consumption level in Italy was due to the fact that many air conditioning systems at the various sites are cooled using water.To reduce water consumption some Group sites havesystems that mix water and air; alternatively, there arephotocells or timed controls that make it possible to controlwater flows and reduce the waste of this resource to aminimum.In order to reinforce and demonstrate its commitment toreducing water consumption, in 2011 the Group signed theCDP Water Disclosure Project, an international initiativethat seeks to raise the awareness of companies as regardsthe sustainable management of water.For more information, see the website www.cdproject.netInitiatives to reduce water consumption in 2012CountryItalyType of initiativeSustainability assessments were carried out on all of the buildings included in the System;these assessments also include the analysis of water consumption and the definition ofmeasures to reduce consumption. In addition, a technical comparison was made between airand water condensation which showed that - for medium-high levels of cooling power - watercondensation is preferable as it consumes less electricity.130 | Assicurazioni Generali - Sustainability Report 2012
