Batik industry is one of the industries that has an economic impact on the people in
Terengganu. However, batik industry cannot avoid to use the water to produce the
various types of batik. This study will investigate the relationship between water
consumption using 30 respondents that consists the owner of batik factory in
Terengganu. Among the variable that we use in this research is factory size, quantity
of batik production and the level of awareness among the owner in batik industries.
The method used in this study were descriptive analysis method and correlation
regression method. The findings show that the quantity of batik production as well as
the size of the factory is significant at 0.04. This shows that the larger the size of the
factory and the more batik produced by the producers, the higher the amount of water
consumption for the industry. Therefore, in order to address the increase in the
amount of water used for the batik industry, water companies should encourage the
batik industry to reduce the amount of water used in their industry through the
provision of subsidies on R & D to be undertaken by the batik industry.
