White House Water Strategy Calls on Business to Boost Water-Efficient Tech
Through better water management practices and technology, the nation can reduce its water usage by 33 percent, bringing the US closer in line with other industrialized nations, and could reduce total CO2 emissions by about 1.5 percent annually, the White House says.
The strategy also calls on the private sector to promote and invest in research and development that will reduce new water supply technology’s cost by four times, electricity usage by three times and emissions by two times to achieve “pipe parity” — meaning costs equal to those from current processes for delivering fresh water — in the next decade.
As part of the public-private water strategy, the White House yesterday hosted a Roundtable on Water Innovation with industry and public leaders to discuss how to plan, efficiently use, and develop new supplies of clean water.
