Education Resources

We’ve compiled a list of recommended resources to keep you up-to-date with the water industry.

Learn about the Watersense partnership program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to encourage the use of water efficient products and programs. http://www.epa.gov/ watersense
Read about a huge variety of water topics at the Environmental Protection Agency. http://www.epa.gov/water/index.html
Sustainability and our nation’s water infrastructure is the topic of this EPA section. You’ll find tools to help shift the utility management model beyond compliance to sustainability and improved performance. http://www.epa.gov/waterinfrastructure/bettermanagement.html
The Energy-Water Nexus: the production of energy requires large volumes of water while the treatment and distribution of water is equally dependent upon readily available, low-cost energy. A report to Congress outlines the interdependence of energy and water and the challenge the U.S. faces as the population continues to increase. http://www.sandia.gov/energy-water/congress_report.htm
This website provides information, ideas, resources and connections for those working on climate-related water issues in the United States, from the River Network. http://rivernetwork.org/rn/climate/wecc
Save energy by saving water; reduce GHG emissions by saving water. http://rivernetwork.org/rn/climate/energy
What are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Get a short course at: http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/emissions/index.html
"Water and Sustainability" is one of the Pacific Institute’s three main programs of research. http://pacinst.org/topics/water_and_sustainability
