About the Water Conservation Showcase:

Water is an increasingly critical topic in the western United States as we progress further into severe drought conditions. It is also worth noting that water saving strategies inevitably save energy since energy is required to purify, distribute, treat, and heat water. The water/energy nexus, the drought, water availability and climate change, and water efficiency retrofit strategies are just some of the topics that will be addressed as part of this year’s Water Showcase.

We have nine webinar presentations planned for this year’s Water Conservation Showcase that will provide information on water-conserving strategies, water source technologies, water availability concerns, new policies, and recently available publications and tools.

This free event is organized through the efforts of the U.S. Green Building Council Northern California (USGBC), East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), the Committee on the Environment from the local American Institute of Architects chapter (AIASF), San Jose Water (SJWATER), and the PG&E Energy Centers (ENERGY CENTERS).
