Natural water

cpc code 180 covers the natural water industry, which is a vital component of the broader water supply and management sector. This industry is responsible for the extraction, treatment, and distribution of naturally occurring water sources, such as groundwater, surface water, and spring water. These natural water resources are essential for a wide range of domestic, commercial, and industrial applications, making the natural water industry a crucial part of the overall economy.

The production techniques used in the natural water industry typically involve the extraction of water from its natural sources, followed by various treatment processes to ensure the water meets the necessary quality standards. This may include filtration, disinfection, and other purification methods, depending on the specific characteristics of the water source and the intended use of the final product.

The main inputs required for the natural water industry include the natural water sources themselves, as well as the equipment and infrastructure necessary for extraction, treatment, and distribution. This includes pumps, pipes, storage tanks, and treatment facilities, as well as the energy and labor required to operate these systems. Additionally, the industry may rely on 170 Mineral extraction for certain raw materials used in the water treatment process.

The primary output of the natural water industry is, of course, the treated and purified water itself, which is then distributed to a variety of end-users. This may include 190 Water collection, treatment and supply for further processing and distribution, as well as 200 Sewerage for the collection and treatment of wastewater. The natural water industry also produces various byproducts, such as sludge and concentrated minerals, which may be used in other industries or disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
