REPORTING & DISCLOSURE TRACKING OUR PROGRESS DOW | REPORTING & DISCLOSURE | 133 Dow Disclosures – GRI Content Index 303-4 Water discharge The accounting of water discharge-related flows is governed by WERS and includes water that has been treated, meets the appropriate discharge quality, and is subsequently discharged to the environment or hydraulic flows that are transferred to 3rd party for treatment. This water is measured upon discharge at our wastewater treatment facilities or transferred to a third party. All Dow businesses, locations and facilities are required to develop a water discharge accounting methodology that complies with WERS standards. Sources of water that are discharged without treatment such as one pass cooling and cooling tower blowdowns are monitored for quality but may not be quantified.
