Surface water availability and quality is a critical concern in a variety of industries including agriculture, municipal, and a host of industrial applications.
Even as industrial water withdrawals are heavily
dependent on surface water, America, and indeed, the world at large is seeing this water source dwindling as climate change affects not only rainfall patterns but glacial ice melt. As extreme weather events continue to become the new normal, it’s becoming ever more apparent that surface water must be treated with care and can no longer be seen as a limitless resource to be exploited.
