Cement manufacturing requires water for cooling heavy equipment and exhaust gases, in emission control systems such as wet scrubbers, as well as for preparing slurry in wet process kilns. Discharged water may be altered in terms of temperature, acidity or suspended solids with potential impacts on the environment. Quarry dewatering may have an impact on the groundwater level too. Water is also consumed for domestic use at residential units and in welfare facilities within cement operations. Many Cement plants are located in water stressed areas hence efficient management of the quantities of water withdrawn, as well as the quality of water discharged is very important for this sector.
