Food, Water, Energy Nexus
Wastewater from industries represents a significant portion of the total wastewater discharged worldwide. Approximately 255,000 mgd of industrial wastewater, treated by chemical, physical, and biological processes, is discharged daily into U.S. waterways. Industries commonly reuse wastewater and process water as water availability becomes scarce, and they are challenged to provide environmentally sustainable wastewater treatment while reducing compliance costs and maintaining value for their businesses.
Industrial Water Community (IWC)
Comprised of experts in industrial wastewater practices, the IWC is the resource to many of WEF’s industrial wastewater activities and offerings.
