Increasing energy efficiency in water supply and operations

Energy efficiency in water and wastewater operations and supply

Welcome to 4 For Water, Week 2.

This week we’re talking about reduced energy consumption and increased energy efficiency to meet the future needs of a sustainable world.  This involves addressing the global water crisis and associated energy challenges to overcome the threats of potential limitation to this precious resource for generations to come. We're also addressing ways in which we can assist water authorities in meeting their Net Zero 2025 -2050 commitments by utilising the technologies already available, today.
