As I stated in my recent editorial,
water and energy are inextricably linked, in part because of the amount
of energy needed to collect, treat, and delivery potable water. Within
this context, water reuse and reclamation is the secret energy
efficiency weapon, both as a tool to reduce the amount of water pulled
from strained water resources, and also as a way to monitor and improve
water quality.
I’m currently in Phoenix attending the 26th annual
WateReuse Symposium. While I flit from presentation to presentation and
gather up a canvas bag full of information on the latest and most
successful water reuse projects and technologies, let’s pause and take a
look back at some of the focusing on the connection between water and
energy that we ran in the magazine in the last year:
Inspiring Efficiency
Bridge the Gap
Winds of Change
A Powerful Partnership
Network Redundancy
Cost Control
From Possible to Probable
Low Risk, High Returns
I’ll be posting updates from the event online on Water Efficiency’s Facebook page and via twitter—so check back for all the latest event news.
