WATER SCARCITY RESOURCES
-
One of the globe's major problems is the lack of water, but due to the growing demand for water in the fields of agriculture and industry, as well as a population shift to cities, efficient water use is made more urgent. The good news is that there are newly implemented technologies that deal with the issue of water conservation and management.
-
As scientists build proof of water on Mars, we hope our intergalactic neighbors use it wisely.
-
Water scarcity affects regions around the globe, prompting a need for innovative conservation methods in residential settings. To this end, modern homes increasingly integrate smart technologies and thoughtfully water-efficient designs to reduce consumption without sacrificing comfort or functionality.
-
The widespread adoption of Big Data has the potential to revolutionize water resource management, expanding the possibilities of water-related work and altering the development of water systems to improve sustainability in both agriculture and metropolitan areas.
-
The global rainwater harvesting market, valued at US$839.7 million in 2022, is projected to exhibit a robust CAGR of 6.3%, reaching US$1.5 billion by 2031. This growth is driven by escalating water scarcity concerns exacerbated by erratic rainfall patterns and climate change impacts.
-
As water resources become more stressed, continuing to "waste" rainwater becomes increasingly inadvisable, perhaps even irresponsible.
-
The final segment in Brown and Caldwell's series on corporate water stewardship (CWS) discusses how the public sector can get more involved in CWS and presents opportunities for win-win partnerships that drive strategic innovation.
-
Water delivery via road is increasingly relevant in major cities worldwide. In parts of the world, urban water networks have deteriorated to such a degree that 1 billion people already face frequent public water supply interruptions. This has led to a proliferation of informal water markets.
-
The second installment of Brown and Caldwell's three-part series on corporate water stewardship (CWS) dives into the CWS program metrics used by companies when prioritizing investments in water projects, and how utilities can leverage private sector funds.
-
This three-part series explores how corporations are voluntarily investing in projects that address water risk while demonstrating responsible leadership. Funding from corporate water stewardship (CWS) programs earmarked to address local water challenges has the potential to catalyze innovation in water management. Hence, CWS has important implications for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), utilities, and municipalities who can leverage these funds to drive meaningful positive impacts for the benefit of communities and our environment.
