36 Active Environmental Policy Water Water use Water is the main natural resource used in our activities, which is why we strive to use it efficiently. Water use ef- ficiency per unit of product is being improved by reuse of cooling water, production optimization, improved efficiency, and other measures.

The Menge‰ site has two wells, and the Len- dava site has six. Relevant water use permits have been obtained from the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning (Nos. 35507-248/2003, 35504-143/2003, 35536- 20/2008 and 35536-34/2007). Regular monitoring of ground- water levels is performed as well. The results are reported to the respective Ministry.
