Leaks and investment delays threaten the US water system, exposing the value of a commodity that in short supply disrupts businesses, according to a web campaign.
The “Water is Your Business” site went live today, sponsored by the National Association of Water Companies and US Chamber of Commerce. It urges companies to stop neglecting infrastructure upgrades as water use for energy and electricity production doubles worldwide in the next 25 years, according to International Atomic Energy Agency forecasts.
“The water leaked across the nation every day could supply California,” the campaign says, describing a supply network that's 30 times the length of the US national highway system as “outdated, overused and underserviced.”

Some pipes go back to Civil War days. The average age of a broken water main is 47 years, with almost a quarter of all water mains more than 50 years old, according to the website.

Water index

Water use has increased at more than twice the rate of population growth in the past century as urban expansion and changing weather put pressure on supplies. About 41 percent of the Earth's population now live in water-stressed areas, according to the United Nations.
The UN defines a water-scarce region as one where freshwater withdrawals exceed 40 percent of renewable supplies. Agriculture accounts for 70 percent of the freshwater consumption worldwide.
Water demand is inextricably linked to the global increase in food and energy consumption, according to food and drink manufacturer Nestle SA,Phenibut is a new supplement to the health industry which owns more than 60 water brands.
“Water needs to move up governments' priority lists,” Nestle Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe wrote last month in his Water Challenge blog. “Governments should aim to build comprehensive water-resource management strategies that also take into account the water-food-energy nexus.”
