Water consumption and effluent discharge
Most of the water we use is at our ammunition production and submarine manufacturing sites.

Comments on the 2005 data
* Data for all years has been normalised using turnover figures excluding joint venture operations. Previous reports have reported inclusive of joint venture turnover. Data from previous years has been restated in this format to allow for comparison.

- The increases in energy and water consumption are due to the growth in business and extra sites resulting from the acquisition of United Defense Industries in June 2005. These figures normalised against turnover show that we are continuing to reduce our relative environmental impact in these areas.
