How Much Carbon Does Your Water Emit?

Water Energy Program Director, Valerie Strassberg, PE

NVOC’s Water/Energy program director, Valerie Strassberg, gave the keynote address to launch the Water/Energy Summit in Santa Fe, New Mexico last week.  The summit successfully brought together agencies, organizations, and individuals to learn about the vital connection between water and energy, and how our conservation of one has a positive effect on conservation of the other.  Valerie’s presentation ‘How Much Carbon Does Your Water Emit’ focused on the importance of including water as a component in our nations’ carbon and energy reduction strategies.  She stressed that to meet future demands, ensure economic feasibility, and reduce environmental damages; we must make water part of the equation.   NVOC began exploring the link between water and energy in 2008.  We continue to develop resources, educate, and coordinate efforts between city, state, and federal government agencies, universities, businesses, industries, other nonprofit organizations.
