PROBLEM
America is facing a water crisis: think Flint, boil alerts, water main breaks, PFAS, plastics, droughts or flooding. And because of population growth, climate change, aging infrastructure and limited public dollars - we believe it’s going to get worse. The American Water Works Association reports that the cost of simply restoring the country’s aging infrastructure could be as high as $1 trillion. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum believes that most Americans could be facing freshwater scarcity over the next fifty years. The time to invest and support new water technologies and potential solutions is now.
