The demand for fresh water is expected to surpass supply by 40 percent within the next decade – placing urgent pressure on businesses to rethink the way water resources are managed, for their own good and for the good of their customers and communities. To address these challenges, businesses around the world are setting ambitious water conservation goals; Ecolab helps them achieve those goals.
