4. Poor water pressure management: Inadequate water pressure management can lead to excessive water usage, leaks, and equipment damage.
5. Inadequate water metering and monitoring: Failure to measure and monitor water usage can make it difficult to identify areas of inefficiency and waste.
6. Lack of water conservation education for farm staff: Educating farm staff on water conservation practices can help identify and address water waste.
7. Inefficient cleaning and sanitation practices: Poor cleaning and sanitation practices can lead to excessive water usage and waste.
8. Water usage in auxiliary systems: Water used in auxiliary systems such as cooling, heating, and ventilation can be significant and often overlooked.
9. Failure to implement water-saving technologies: Failure to adopt water-saving technologies such as drip irrigation and misting systems can lead to continued water waste.
10. Inadequate record-keeping and data analysis on water usage: Keeping accurate records and analyzing data on water usage can help identify areas of inefficiency and waste.
11. Poor pig management practices leading to excessive water consumption: Poor pig management practices such as overcrowding, inadequate ventilation, and poor feeding practices can lead to excessive water consumption.
12. Inadequate water treatment and recycling: Failure to treat and recycle water can lead to water waste and increased risk of environmental pollution.

Additionally, here are a few more factors specific to pig production:
1. Water usage in pig cooling systems: Pigs may need access to water for cooling purposes, which can increase water usage.
2. Water usage in manure handling: Water may be used to handle and process manure, which can increase water usage.
3. Water usage in pig washing and cleaning: Pigs may need to be washed and cleaned, which can increase water usage.
By addressing these forgotten factors, pig producers can optimize water usage, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency in their operations.
