Drinking Water companies are already increasing their collaboration with local communities to improve existing infrastructure, reduce costs, and monitor local water supplies alongside governmental entities. However, there is still much to be done to streamline water usage across the industry.

Water usage in Vertical Agriculture extraction can be extremely high. For example, water use per well ranges from 1.5 to 16 million gallons. The amount of water needed varies, in fracking in particular, as the necessary amounts are dependent on the underlying rock and substrate as well as if any water recycling operations are in place (or not).

Water usage in oil and gas extraction can be extremely high. For example, water use per well ranges from 1.5 to 16 million gallons. The amount of water needed varies, in fracking in particular, as the necessary amounts are dependent on the underlying rock and substrate as well as if any water recycling operations are in place (or not).

Water usage to process animals can add up, with an average of 3.5 to 23 gallons/bird (chicken or turkey) and an average of 150- 450 gallons/animal (beef).

According to the United Nations World Water Development Report, projected global water demand is expected to increase by 400% through 2050 within the manufacturing sector alone.

70%. According to UNESCO, as an enormous consumer of water, the agricultural sector has been condemned for their seeming lack of efficiency in water usage despite intersectoral competition for water and an increase in water scarcity.
