Panel Description: 
 
Water is a basic human right, but potable water has become increasingly
scarce due to pollution, industrial development and climate change. We are
in the midst of serious energy and water problems; the two issues are
closely linked. The water supply sector uses large amounts of energy to
transport, treat, and deliver water. For the energy sector, water is used in
all energy creation stages including: extraction, processing, refining and
transporting the fuels to power-generation sources. As cities continue to
grow, water-use efficiency and conservation are needed to ensure adequate
protection of water supply for these growing populations. The panel will
examine what water conservation measures are being implemented by
governments and corporations. In addition, it will address what citizens can
do to ensure that this important resource is being preserved and protected
for the public good.
