Critical Scarcity.
According to the U.S. General Accounting Office, water shortages threaten more than two-thirds of the nation. Global warming is likely exacerbating current drought conditions, which scientists project will expand across the globe for decades to come.
“When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water,” wrote Benjamin Franklin. Let’s make sure it doesn’t come to that. After all, no substance is more precious than water. Our bodies and our crops will accept nothing else. Consider also that water waste correlates directly to energy waste and in turn to global warming. Four million watt hours of power are expended and 5,360 pounds of CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere with every one million gallons of water consumed.
Looking Outside.
In their search for answers to our water crisis, sustainability leaders are looking outside. They’ve discovered that 58% of the U.S. urban water supply is applied to landscapes, which are overwatered by 30-to-300%. Thus landscapes present our most significant conservation opportunity.
Worse Than We Thought.
Both the public and private sectors are waking up to the true cost of mismanaging water. Each day millions of gallons of water, laden with fertilizers, pesticides and other pollutants, run off over-watered landscapes. This toxic brew flows from our cities to our oceans, endangering wildlife breeding grounds and putting entire species at risk. Even the Great Lakes – the largest body of fresh water in the world – face shortages and environmental challenges.
The business cost of mismanaging water is nearly as daunting. The runoff that is so harmful to our environment is catastrophic to structures. Repairing property destruction caused by water runoff and managing associated liabilities cost companies 5-to-10x as much as their fast-rising water bills.
