  Companies are facing many social, environmental and economic changes. They are taking steps to use and conserve resources more effectively. One of the most pressing needs for every industry is the transition from a linear to a circular economic model. Rethinking the way resources are acquired and processed is necessary to redesign business processes in line with sustainable development and the circular economy. Water is an essential resource for most business processes. Water resources may become less available, and their quality may deteriorate as a result of climate change. Businesses should identify risks related to water resources and implement solutions to reduce the amount of water used, protect it and treat wastewater in effective and environmentally friendly way. In order to consider water as a strategic resource of the company and to create value based on it, the following business model is proposed (based, among others, on A. Ostervalder, Business Model Canvas);
