Natural Mineral Waters Europe: Water Use Ratio survey

This article explains the full process on how to fill the Water Use Ratio survey by the Natural Mineral Waters Europe

As mentioned in our article How to use Pilario for Data Collection via submissions, Pilario is a great tool to be used for Data Collection due to its key features like centralized analysis and anonymity.

Since 2011, Natural Mineral Waters Europe (NMWE) has been monitoring the water production
efficiency performance of its members. To do so, the NMWE has developed the BIER (Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable), a methodology which generates a functional unit named Water Use Ratio (WUR). As a NMWE federation member, you might be requested to fill out the WUR (Water Use Ration) survey carried out periodically.

In the submissions page you should see all the forms that have been sharing with you, among them, you should see the NWME WUR Survey. By clicking in the ➕ button, on the column Actions, you will create a new submission.

The survey contains several elements that you will need to fill in. Those marked with an asterisk are considered mandatory, and you will need to provide before continuing. Once you have completed all the information, make sure you read and check the terms and click on the Submit button at the end.

You are done completing the survey! If you need to fill it several times, like submitting information for other years, you can just click on the ➕ as many times as you need.
