With the world's population booming and more of those people moving to major cities, the need for fresh water is "staggering." In construction terms, this demand will trigger a flood of whitewater and storm-water treatment projects.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's latest 20-year projection estimates a need for nearly half a trillion dollars in facilities that provide clean drinking and bathing water. This includes:
· $187.8 billion for waste-water treatment and collection systems,
· $63.6 billion for combined sewer overflow corrections, and
· $42.3 billion for storm-water management.
As an engineer or contractor, how will you take advantage of these proposed clean water construction projects?
