Welcome to Our Future Water's newsletter on "net-zero water utilities," exploring the future of water management for a sustainable planet.
Greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming. As a result, climate change occurs, significantly affecting water resources by intensifying the water cycle, which in turn causes more severe rainfall, flooding, and droughts in various regions.
Therefore, it is vital for water utilities to aim for net-zero emissions, effectively reducing their greenhouse gas contributions and lessening the impact on water resources.
This newsletter explores innovative solutions and strategies that leading water utilities adopt to decouple water consumption from energy usage, promote sustainable water management, and reduce their carbon footprint.
With rising demand for water, energy, and food, leading cities and water utilities have created synergies between the water-energy-food nexus sectors while reducing trade-offs in the development of a green economy.
