Written by Sara Gutterman | Mar 13, 2025 5:57:51 PM

This info-packed webinar explores the smartest ways to simultaneously conserve water, reduce costs, and save energy.

Water is one of our most precious and limited resources. Given that less than 1% of Earth’s water is fresh and drinkable, conservation is not just a good practice—it’s a necessity. As our global population grows and climate conditions shift, the urgency to use water wisely has never been greater.

This recorded webinar dives deep into the critical role of water conservation, explore cutting-edge technologies, and reveal how water and energy efficiency go hand-in-hand.

Why This Webinar Matters

From ancient civilizations mastering water transport to today’s smart home innovations, our ability to manage water has evolved. But are we doing enough? This webinar will highlight:

  • The history of water systems and how they shape today’s water management.
  • The growing environmental challenges that demand greater water conservation.
  • The water-energy nexus—how saving water directly impacts energy efficiency.
  • National residential water-saving programs designed to shape sustainable homes.
  • The most effective water-saving products and technologies.
  • The potential of rainwater harvesting, greywater systems, and non-saltwater filtration for sustainable living.
