Water and wastewater infrastructure: Energy efficiency and sustainability
Water and wastewater infrastructure: Energy efficiency and sustainability is about energy use today and future energy availability for the treatment of the water we drink and the water we foul through our use or abuse (or both). The pressing reality? Have you noticed the current prices of gasoline, heating oil, and diesel fuel in the United States? The pressing reality of the high cost of hydrocarbon fuels is just one facet of the growing problem. How about our growing population and the corresponding need to increase our use of energy to support, maintain, and sustain the growing population? Moreover, we also need to consider worldwide growth in energy needs, now and in the future. China and India, for example, are expanding their populations, their economies, and thus their need for energy.
