엔지니어링 업체인 GE가 지난 2월에 열렸던 ‘Water Arabia 2015’에서 발표했던 물재활용 및 물재사용을 위한 4가지 주요 정책방안을 다시 촉구했다.

GE는 지난 2월, 물재활용 및 재이용 백서(white paper)를 통해 물부족 상황을 강조했으며, 정부가 제시한 교육 및 봉사활동, 장벽의 제거, 인센티브 및 의무 규정 등어떤 부분에 초점을 두고 정책을 확대할지 모색 중이다.

 

 

 

Engineering giant, GE, has again urged policymakers to consider four major policy options for water recycling and reuse first unveiled at Water Arabia 2015 in February this year.

 

GE has highlighted its February Addressing Water Scarcity through Recycling and Reuse  white paper in which it calls on governments that are looking to expand water recycling and reuse to focus on: education and outreach, removing barriers, incentives, and mandates and regulations.

 

"Today's growing populations and economies are creating an unsustainable demand for water. By 2050, the world will demand 55% more water and 70% more energy. Municipalities and governments need to reuse more water to ensure demand equals supply. The goal of our new white paper is to help them think through their options for water recycling and reuse while providing a menu of policy options and concrete examples of how these policies are being applied around the world," said president and chief executive officer of water and process technologies for GE Power and Water, Heiner Markhoff.

 

GE's white paper will be showcased on June 3 in San Francisco at The Economic Power of Water event hosted by GE and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
