In this episode, Will and Tom are joined by Dave who gives context on Southern Nevada, providing water in the desert and meeting the needs of a population that booms from tourism and the attraction of Las Vegas.
As one of the Leading Utilities of the World, he discusses why they’re sharing lessons with like-minded water companies around the world on their 20-year demand management journey and also the long term, water resource strategy.
We also talk about grass, or turf, and the limiting of the Colorado river for the irrigation of non-functional turf, naturally refraining from breaking into the Tom Jones’ song, The green green grass of home.
And finally, Dave discusses an innovation on water footprinting with Southern Nevada’s tool being used to evaluate potential water use from incoming businesses.
Plus much much more! We hope you enjoy the episode!
