Beyond Water Resources Planning

According to the U.S. EPA, there are nearly 69,000 drinking water and wastewater systems in the United States. According to water.org, a non-profit organization that works to deliver innovative solutions for safe water and sanitation, the average American uses nearly 65,000 gallons of water in a year.

With the drought conditions of the western United States persistent in the national media throughout the year, the importance of ensuring sustainable water sources and efficient water systems for the future has attracted more public attention than it has in years.
