New opportunities abound for water technologies
One result of America’s growing water shortages likely will be an increased public-policy focus on water conservation, water-efficiency technologies, and on-site water treatment and reuse. This policy focus could offer unprecedented opportunities for mechanical contractors, technology suppliers, investors and engineering consultants. Rainwater harvesting and gray-water reuse are good technologies for new buildings and major renovations because both require dual-piping systems to collect and treat reuse water inside of a building, as well as space for treatment and storage systems. Fixture renovations can be made at any time, using a new generation of low-water-using toilets, sinks, urinals, and other appliances. Rainwater harvesting is gaining popularity in existing buildings because it is relatively easy to implement an on-site treatment and reuse system, whether for cooling-tower makeup water or landscape use.
