We use 2R for external water sources and 3R for internal water usage.In 2014 our additional capital expenditure related to mitigating drought was 80 million baht for the construction of a new pipeline. This new pipeline is for freshwater from our sea water reverse osmosis plant. Using this pipeline reduces reliance on freshwater, which is affected during drought. This is out of total allocated budget for drought related expenditure in 2014-2015 of 500 million baht.In addition to the 80 million baht used for pipeline we have an additional 13 million baht worth of projects around waste water recycling and improvements to other water related infrastructure. The Eastern region has medium-risk of drought according to the risk mapping of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation. The study of rain and climate forecast that the likelihood of drought or no rain is during a period of 10 months from November 2014 to August 2015. The Rayong area will not face the water scarcity problem in 2015, despite no mitigation measures. However in 2016, there will be measures that control/reduces the water consumption for a period of 4 months between June to September. These measures include our infrastructure projects and also plans to reduce water consumption in way that minimally affects our day to day business. The mitigation measures will be according to the assumption that the water conditions will be similar to the period between 2004- 2005. The worst case that the plants have to reduce 50 % of water consumption which may cause production disruption risk and reduce 12,900 MTHB of net profit. In another scenario PTTGC may need to reduce 10 % of water consumption which may cause 720 MTHB reduction of net profit. PTTGC has established a mitigation plan and management approach to mitigation risk.

This BCM has rolled out for some of our Business Units from 2013 to 2015. The BCM provides emergency response procedures in the event of incidents such as flooding. The risk of flood could come from the excessively heavy rain released to waterways or canals. The impact does not affect the production line but may affect transportation. The protection plan is to regularly dredge the canal and prepare the water pumps.

The likelihood of the risk is high, but the impact to production cost is low. Also, PTT Group implements a 3R (Reduce, reuse, recycle) approach to reduce that impact. This includes recycling wastewater, which is cheaper than purchasing water. We also can produce water from seawater, which is more expensive than purchased water.

Conductivity of water from East Water is therefore diminished. It affects clean water production by increasing operational cost due to the need for more chemicals to treat water. Likelihood of this risk is high, especially in early rainy season. However the impact is extreme as production could be disrupted. East Water reduced the risk by establishing reservoirs of 220,000 cubic meters and 12 million cubic meters for stocking raw water in order to collect precipitation.

A blackout would have an impact on water transmission system of East Water’s production process. However the likelihood is low because East Water has uninterrupted power supply and reservoir in high land.

The effluent discharge conditions for Chlorides and Nitrates exceed those of the incoming potable water, which would require significant capital for water treatment. In addition, the groundwater quality license conditions are also not feasible. As a result of this, the site is forced to operate its cooling towers at 3 cycles instead of the full 6. The implication of this is that the site is forced to purchase additional potable water at significant cost.1-3 yearsProbableMedium-highEngagement with public policy makers; Increased capital expenditureThe site is purchasing an additional 1290 ML of potable water per year at a cost of R24 million a year.Omnia is dealing with this problem by engaging directly with the water regulators (DWS) regarding the license conditions. Omnia has proposed a risk-based approach to addressing groundwater quality. The water use licence is currently being reviewed and Omnia is waiting for feedback from DWS. The site has also investigated the possibility of constructing a water treatment plant but the costs related to this are not financially feasible. The costs incurred (R24 million) from addressing this risk are direct operational costs and are derived from invoices.

The effluent discharge conditions for Chlorides and Nitrates exceed those of the incoming potable water, which would require significant capital for water treatment. In addition, the groundwater quality license conditions are also not feasible. As a result of this, the site is forced to operate its cooling towers at 3 cycles instead of the full 6. The implication of this is that the site is forced to purchase additional potable water at significant cost.1-3 yearsProbableMedium-highEngagement with public policy makers; Increased capital expenditureThe site is purchasing an additional 1290 ML of potable water per year at a cost of R24 million a year.Omnia is dealing with this problem by engaging directly with the water regulators (DWS) regarding the license conditions. Omnia has proposed a risk-based approach to addressing groundwater quality. The water use licence is currently being reviewed and Omnia is waiting for feedback from DWS. The site has also investigated the possibility of constructing a water treatment plant but the costs related to this are not financially feasible. The costs incurred (R24 million) from addressing this risk are direct operational costs and are derived from invoices.

Description

CDP's water program motivates companies to disclose and reduce their environmental impacts by using the power of investors and customers. The data CDP collects help influential decision makers to reduce risk, capitalize on opportunities and drive action towards a more sustainable world. This dataset comes from question W3.2c asking companies to list the inherent water risks that could generate a substantive change in their business, operations, revenue or expenditure, the potential impact to their direct operations and the strategies to mitigate them.
