In many parts of the U.S. and around the world, clean water infrastructure development is not keeping pace with growing water demands. Groundwater from aquifers and surface water from lakes, rivers and reservoirs have limited availability and aren’t enough to meet an increasing need for clean water.
Tapping into alternative water sources and developing seawater desalination projects will help increase the amount of clean water available to accommodate growing water demands without depleting our freshwater resources.
