Agricultural and industrial use account for 90 percent of the world's freshwater resources
Concern is growing about the future availability and quality of water. A recent GE consumer survey indicates Americans strongly support reusing water to help the US drive economic competitiveness and protect the environment.
Two-thirds of Americans feel positive about water reuse, according to the survey of 3,000 consumers in the US, China and Singapore. The survey reports Americans also think industry and government should play a stronger role in making water reuse a priority.
