Follow the Drop: Powering Sustainable Water Management for Global Corporate Facilities & Data Centers
FOR CORPORATIONS
Smarter Water Stewardship, Anywhere in the World
Water is a critical resource in global operations—especially at data centers and large corporate facilities where usage is high, and water stress is increasing. The Follow the Drop digital twin and cloud-based data management platform equips corporations with the tools they need to develop and expand their water portfolios to manage water intelligently, sustainably, and at scale.
Our platform offers sustainability directors and facilities managers a low cost, low effort tool for quantifying and reporting the beneficial impacts of both existing and proposed green infrastructure projects.
We also help strengthen the watersheds that sustain corporate operations and the communities they serve. Through the Follow the Drop platform, we connect local partners and communities to implement resilience initiatives and provide transparent planning, performance tracking, and impact assessment.
What you get:
We support both on-premise green infrastructure facilities and regional implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS).
Expand your water portfolio. Collect field data with Follow the Drop either remotely or onsite at any of your global facilities. Establish a baseline and identify the best locations, options and sizes to capture stormwater at site-specific facilities and/or enter existing green infrastructure solutions into Follow the Drop.
Quantify benefits. Follow the Drop has over 50 data points it collects for any given project. Once projects are installed collect near real-time data to quantify stormwater and pollutants captured, water savings, community impact, and other co-benefits such as carbon sequestration and heat island reduction over the project’s lifetime.
Streamline operations and asset management. Easily track project history, ongoing maintenance needs and engage with employees, partners and stakeholders.
Reporting. Easily collect the aggregated data for regulatory or sustainability reporting, both in the Follow the Drop dashboard interface and as an API and csv and pdf outputs.
Integrate. Using Follow the Drop’s cloud based infrastructure to push and pull API’s to communicate to central, corporate sustainability reporting platforms or on-prem dashboards and to monitor and communicate your impact.
Community Resilience. Deploy Follow the Drop in the communities the organization’s facilities are operating in to support community-based stormwater programs and/or identify and collect quantifiable data to measure the impact of NbS implemented in the watershed.
Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations has defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Green infrastructure solutions help developments and corporations meet the following:
Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation
Goal 9: Industry innovation and infrastructure
Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities
Goat 13: Climate action
3Rwater facilitates collaborative efforts between corporations with local communities, governmental bodies, and non-governmental organizations to address local water and stormwater challenges that not only align with SDGs but also provide quantifiable data for ESG reporting.
Watershed & Community Resilience
Stormwater and water management on corporate campuses and global facilities can have a large impact on the environment and the communities they operate in. The Follow the Drop digital twin and cloud-based platform help organizations build resilience both at the facility and watershed scale by quantifying, tracking, and reporting the impacts of NbS and water stewardship investments. Follow the Drop quantifies stormwater capture and key co-benefits—including water savings, flood mitigation, urban heat reduction, carbon sequestration, and cost per gallon captured—enabling organizations to measure and demonstrate the impact of their water stewardship investments. It can also help to facilitate partnerships with local NGOs and utilities to build trust and resilience in the locations of their facilities.
Integrate Follow the Drop data with your organization’s watershed and community resilience planning or let us help you assess opportunities for Nature-based Solutions by using the Green Infrastructure for Towns Program (GIFT).
