Celebrate Earth Day by Joining the Water Conservation Movement

Today is Earth Day and more than any other day, we reflect upon what we are doing for the environment and remind ourselves how important it is to preserve the planet’s most precious resource – WATER.  We’d like to discuss the importance of water conservation, share some encouraging stories about water reuse, and identify how you can take part in reducing water waste and protecting the planet.

Water scarcity and drought continue to impact the United States, but support for water conservation and water reuse are taking the country by storm. The U.S. Senate is currently debating a bill that would “produce upwards of 1.1 million acre feet in ‘new’ water” through recycling and desalination projects—including a $250 million increase in funding for the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow) program and $200 million for other water recycling initiatives. Many states have also sponsored studies on water reclamation in recent years.

Nowhere has the commitment to water reuse been greater than in Florida, Colorado, Texas, and California—states that currently have 480 combined wastewater reuse projects in the pipeline. According to a report by Bluefield Research, 400 of these projects are slated for completion by 2030 and will provide a total of 6.7 million cubic meters per day of reuse capacity.

NO matter which industry you are in, if you use water and are  looking for a substantial way to preserve Earth’s most precious resource, look no further than AWWT.
