Providing Technical Assistance for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Water Conservation
Brendle Group Teams Up with U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District to Develop Innovative Web Tool
Brendle Group partnered with
the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and participants from Northern
Colorado water providers to develop
resources and tools for industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) water
conservation with funding from the United States Bureau of
Reclamation. The resources are targeted
at water users and water providers to achieve conservation in these often
overlooked sectors. They also provide access to information and tools that will
make the water conservation process, from assessment through implementation,
more accessible to all water users.
These resources were combined with previous ICI water use benchmarking
results under a single web-based resource that is now hosted by the Colorado
Water Wise Council.
Energy, Water, and Climate- Understanding the Connections
The project also included
development of a briefing paper outlining the relationship between water use,
embodied energy in water, and greenhouse gas emissions. Brendle Group is helping water providers and
users increasingly understand the links to energy and climate issues so that
decision can be made through a more strategic lens of sustainability.
