With global warming looming as the defining environmental, political and economic issue of the 21st century, two things are clear for river protection groups in the United States: our water resources will be increasingly vulnerable and carbon emissions must be reduced to lessen the consequences of climate change.
Recognizing these fundamental aspects of global warming, River Network launched the “Saving Water, Saving Energy” program to help watershed groups understand and communicate the water-energy nexus in order to tackle the climate crisis head-on and ensure that a watershed perspective is represented within the broader climate change debate.
With a focus on water-related energy use--which is equivalent to at least 13% of the United States' annual electricity consumption--we are helping grassroots groups across the country promote water conservation, efficiency, reuse and low-impact development as effective strategies that can protect our rivers by mitigating and adapting to global warming.
