It is now indisputable that water and energy are interdependent. Energy development stresses water supplies while using water requires massive amounts of energy. In this presentation from Bevan Griffiths-Sattenspiel, River Network's Saving Water, Saving Energy Project Coordinator, participants will learn about water-related energy use and carbon emissions in the U.S. and the potential energy savings through water-oriented approaches. In addition, there will be a brief overview of water use and trends in the energy sector.
