If integrating their water stewardship & their net zero goals into one another is so positive for companies why are they not doing it? 🤔
Virginia Newton-Lewis, @drvlnl @grundfos tells us more at The Climate Hub in this session with @WINZaction 💧 live from #ClimateWeekNYC🗽

100s of climate scientists polled by @guardian predict that the 🌍 is heading for at least 2.5C of heating.
They say we need to act now.
WINZ says, here's how.
Water solutions can address up to 10% of global greenhouse emissions.

How can improving water management drastically reduce methane emissions?
🌾 Using drip irrigation for rice production can reduce methane emissions by 50-90%
🚽 In treatment plants, methane can be captured and used for production of biogas.

Getting utilities to net zero:
✅ reduces emissions
✅ improves operations
✅ lowers costs
After being awarded Net Zero Carbon Champion at the Global Water Awards, we spoke to @Xylem about concrete steps the water sector can take in the race to zero.

🌾 @NetafimCorp estimates that drip irrigation uses 70% less water, improves rice production, and reduces methane emissions.
A win-win-win for people and planet.
We spoke to @Netafim about how their technology is revolutionizing rice cultivation.

Water and wastewater utilities account for ~2% global #GHG emissions.
HP Nanda and @PatrickKDecker work for competing water utilities companies: @Xylem and @grundfos.
Today they joined forces at the #Water4Climate pavilion for a shared goal: achieving net zero through water 💧

Did you know?
🛫 Wastewater generates nearly as much emissions as the aviation industry.
Most don't.
That's why we exist. To work with partners to highlight opportunities where water-related actions can have a big impact on reducing emissions.
