The Future is Bright for Water Recycling Strategies
A survey of nearly 300 water industry stakeholders for Black & Veatch’s 2020 Strategic Directions: Water Report reveals that utilities increasingly are adopting water reclamation and recycling strategies to bolster their water resilience and reduce effluent discharge in their overall water-management plan — and provide local supply availability even in the time of global pandemics such as COVID-19.
Faced with the specter of climate change and increasingly extreme weather events, the survey’s findings reveal that an expanding portfolio of water reuse strategies as a sustainability goal is becoming the norm, with nearly six in 10 respondents saying water reclamation and reuse are part of their sustainability goals and metrics.
This isn’t surprising. Water reclamation gives water utilities more options in meeting the needs of growing populations in increasingly strained natural ecosystems.
2020 Strategic Directions: Water Report
With its survey of nearly 300 water industry stakeholders as its backbone, Black & Veatch’s 2020 Strategic Directions: Water Report comprehensively analyzes the sector’s complex landscape of challenges and opportunities. The leveraging of data in driving decision-making and optimizing efficiencies in water and wastewater systems is widening even as infrastructure continues to age, climate change strains assets, and the COVID-19 pandemic’s financial havoc pressures the bottom lines of many utilities through lost revenues. We look at all of that and more.
