WATER SCARCITY RESOURCES
-
Many cities have had to confront major water supply crises in recent years. Our new analysis of these five cities’ experiences provides lessons on how to avoid a water supply crisis or minimize the effects through proactive policies and planning.

There are many ways to capture stormwater — whether as a homeowner, business, or municipality — and even more benefits.

Water, the lifeblood of everything, also powers artificial intelligence. Here's how we can enjoy both in abundance.
-
A key aspect of achieving urban water security is the implementation of demand management, which involves the better use of existing water supplies before plans are made to further increase supply. In particular, demand management promotes water conservation during times of both normal and atypical conditions, through changes in practices, culture, and people's attitudes towards water resources.

In Frank Herbert's seminal science fiction novel Dune, survival on the arid planet Arrakis depends on the ingenious ability to harvest water from the atmosphere. Using devices like windtraps and dew collectors, the inhabitants of this desert world extract precious moisture from the air. Today, as the global water crisis worsens, scientists and engineers are making strides in developing real-world atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technologies, transforming speculative fiction into practical solutions.

Groundwater levels and pollution, owing to the rising industrialization rate, have increased drastically across the world. To address these issues, many government policies and stringent regulatory norms for industries have been structured, leading to growing prospects for the industrial wastewater treatment market.

With its innovative Harvest Water program, the Sacramento Area Sewer District supports Central Valley growers, thereby supporting the nation.

The number of people affected by water scarcity is expected to grow as populations increase and as weather patterns become more unpredictable and extreme. Many state leaders, however, are aggressively planning water infrastructure projects to increase water supply or provide more efficient use of available resources to curb the very negative impacts of water stress.
-
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.
