Manufacturing Water Use
We help the manufacturing sector save water, energy, costs and carbon emissions through water efficiency and conservation.
Research Projects

We work with the US Department of Energy (DOE) through their Better Buildings Challenge to develop best practices for corporate water management.
See the following guide developed by DOE and Berkeley Lab based on the experiences of 7 industrial companies.

We conduct research to better understand US manufacturing water use characteristics including quantities, sources, location, and watershed impact. Through mapping US manufacturing water use, our results can be used by policy makers and manufacturers alike to identify manufacturing operations at risk of water shortages, where to prioritize conservation efforts, and the impact of water saving technologies.
See our paper that analyzes water withdrawals, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. manufacturing sector.
