Given the intertwined relationship of water use and energy use, integrated water management is increasingly taking up the topic of energy management. Developing increasingly sustainable water technologies will take time. In the meantime, taking advantage of centralized waste treatment plants as an energy source is becoming more and more of a norm […]
