A recent report by Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research predicts that by 2030, global demand for water will outstrip supply by as much as 40 percent, leading to dramatic political and sociological developments. This report warns that, by 2050, as many as 50 nations could be involved in water conflicts. The report urges governments and corporations to invest in water reuse technologies, as the current path could lead to devastating consequences that could put up to 45 percent of projected GDP at risk.
The first Insight in this two-part series focused on storm water for power plant cooling applications. However, the water demands for cooling at power plants will likely far exceed a traditional onsite storm water capturing system. Collecting additional storm water from the surrounding area could help reduce this shortfall to a certain degree, but requires power generation facilities to work with their local municipalities.
Reclaimed water, the focus of this Insight, could provide a more reliable source of cooling water for power plants, especially in water scarce areas. It also promotes sustainable operations while reducing environmental footprint. However, in the US, reclaimed water is still not widely used in industrial applications. ARC predicts that this will change dramatically in the coming years.
