"Comparing water pricing structures in Australia's Murray-Darling Basin, California, and Alberta reveals a universal truth: without systematic operational protocols, even the most sophisticated market mechanisms fail to deliver reliable water service."
Copper prices hit record highs above $13,000/tonne. For utilities facing EPA lead pipe mandates, operational excellence—not bigger budgets—determines survival
As AI pervades every sector, data center water consumption is under scrutiny—but the headlines often miss the nuance. While global DC water use is projected to reach 3 trillion liters annually by 2025 (potentially 7× higher by 2050 without mitigation), context matters: 60% of the water footprint comes from electricity generation, not cooling. The real challenge? 43% of data centers operate in high water-stress areas. From Spain's emergency permit bans to Amsterdam's consumption cuts, the global regulatory landscape is tightening.
With another federal deadline only weeks away and record-low snowfall further drying out the watershed, seven Western states face the prospect of litigation over the dwindling Colorado River. Arizona has established a $1 million legal fund while Colorado promises to bring 'the best lawyer'—all as the basin risks a 3.6 million acre-foot overdraw that could collapse the system serving 40+ million people
