| Panel: Let's Use Water Wisely |
|
|
| Monday, 17 November 2008 | |
We're used to thinking of water as an unlimited resource here in RI -- there's certainly no shortage of rain -- but the water infrastructure that delivers that water to homes and businesses is a very limited resource. Creating more capacity is expensive, but not having it can be a barrier to economic development. But before we run off to demand more and more water, here's another thought -- we could try to stop wasting so much. That was the bottom line from a panel at last week's water forum at URI's Bay Campus. Click here for a story about the event from projo reporter Donita Naylor.
