31. In Times of Drought: 9 Economic Facts About Water In The United States 4/2/2015

    This Hamilton Project memo presents nine economic facts that provide relevant background context to the water crisis in the United States.

32. Can Co-Locating Utilities Solve The Water-Energy Nexus? 4/21/2014

    Resources being a scarce commodity, it’s incumbent upon us to optimize the use of water and energy as best we can. While conservation is the prime course of action for the public, the best solution for utilities may be to work smarter — by having the water-energy nexus work for us instead of against us.

33. From Drought To Deluge: Gauging The Impact Of Western Rains 4/10/2023
    For a number of years now, we have heard of dwindling water supplies in the western part of the U.S., but 2023 brought "atmospheric rivers" that (literally) flooded the Golden State and filled 12 of its 17 major reservoirs above their historical averages for the start of spring. It's a double-edged sword when such extreme weather arises, and obviously important to learn from the experience to better prepare for future events and plan for both resiliency and sustainability.
34. Ultrapure Water Treatment: A Market With Energy 10/15/2020

    A look at the market dynamics and drivers for ultrapure water treatment reveals multiple industries with growing demand, including one that stands above the rest.

35. Are Biden's COP27 Goals Enough To Curb The Water-Food-Energy Nexus? 5/23/2023

    At the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) in November 2022, world leaders gathered in Egypt to announce climate action initiatives and the steps each one planned to take to reduce the impacts of climate change in their respective countries.

36. Power-Gen Efficiency Boosted By Clamp-On Flow Meters 3/26/2020

    When an energy storage facility in New York, USA was looking for a way to improve the efficiency of their power generating turbines they did not have many options to choose from. Because of the sheer size, the space limitations and performance requirements of the application, the only option was to install a SITRANS FS230 clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter from Siemens.

38. Keeping A Lid On It: Identifying And Intercepting Potential Cooling Water System Upsets 3/10/2019

    A wide range of industrial operations rely on cooling systems to function. And, in turn, these systems require cooling water to function. So, it stands to reason that a wide range of water treatment issues need to be considered and addressed so that cooling water system upsets are avoided and everything continues to run as it should. Oftentimes, an efficient industrial operation depends on efficient monitoring and treatment of cooling water.

39. Texas' Evolving Energy Reality: Clean Energy Uses Less Water 6/14/2016
