Our Dependence on Water, Water's Dependence on Energy

Mark Shannon is Director of the Center of Advanced Materials for the Purification of Water with  Systems.

Energy and Water are essential, interdependent resources.

Supplying energy requires water:
-  Refining Processes                                     
-  Mining and Extraction
-  Hydrogen/Synfuels                                     
-  Agriculture/Biomass/biofuels
-  Nuclear Power                                          
-  Hydroelctric/Thermoelectric power             

Supplying water requires energy:
 
-  Collection/Treatment/Distribution                
-  Pumping Groundwater
-  Desalinization/Purification                           
-  Heating

Energy-water conflicts are increasing in frequency and exacerbated by a growing population. Join us for an evening with Dr. Mark Shannon to discuss the problems, solutions and opportunities.
