Webinar/Conference Call to Discuss Water Energy Blueprint for Action
As much as a fifth of the nation's electricity goes toward sourcing, moving, treating, heating, collecting, retreating, and disposing of potable water. Estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey suggest as much as 50 percent of the nation's water goes toward producing thermoelectric electricity.

As much as a fifth of the nation's electricity goes toward sourcing, moving, treating, heating, collecting, retreating, and disposing of potable water. Estimates from the U.S. Geological Survey suggest as much as 50 percent of the nation's water goes toward producing thermoelectric electricity.
A panel of national experts on energy and water efficiency has developed a blueprint for realizing the substantial economic and environmental benefits to the nation from a combined approach towards more efficient water and energy systems. The blueprint outlines eight action strategies that could lead to future economic opportunities and environmental benefits through using energy and water more efficiently and identifies five next steps. The blueprint strives to learn from the experiences of both the energy and water communities, building on existing policies, programs, and relationships. The blueprint lays out paths for progress in each of those areas, providing a concrete challenge to funders, researchers, and program implementers to take the steps necessary to realize the opportunities from collaboration.
