Conserve Water through Local Action

Water Conservation = Energy Conservation

Our Water Resource Management for Energy Conservation (WRMEC) program identifies and quantifies links between water and energy sectors and uses these links to advance the design and implementation of freshwater conservation policies, programs, and projects with a focus on:

In recent years, two issues have emerged within our nation’s policy development and national spending focus; energy and the economy.  The energy-economy equation however, is missing a key variable; water.  To indentify the value of water in this equation, NVOC has investigated and quantified energy reductions and cost savings achievable through water resource management projects.   Our findings reveal that by combining the concepts of water and energy conservation, there is an enormous opportunity to address key, water, energy, and economic dilemmas.
