ASME Water Management Technology Vision & Roadmap

Water management technology was a $6.7 billion industry
in the United States alone in 2002, according to the
U.S. Census Bureau's most current data. The industry
incorporates a wide range of technologies used in water
treatment plants and water supply systems, wastewater
treatment facilities, desalination and filtration, and
water recycling. In the United States, an aging water
infrastructure and inefficient water usage are combining to
make the current growth in water demand unsustainable.
