Global water use has surged six-fold in the past century, and by 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population may face water scarcity. Advancements in water storage technology, including IoT-based systems, have significantly reduced wastage. Integrating renewable energy with water storage has improved efficiency by 30%, while innovative recycling programs reclaim up to 80% of industrial wastewater.
Diverse water sources, including surface water, groundwater, and rainwater harvesting, undergo rigorous treatment processes to ensure safety. Stainless steel tanks for example offer unparalleled benefits, such as hygiene, durability, and eco-friendliness, and are 100% recyclable, minimizing environmental impact.
Industries like semiconductor manufacturing, heavy industry, oil and gas, pulp and paper mills, and pharmaceuticals rely on stored water for various applications. Understanding the journey of municipal water underscores the importance of robust infrastructure, regulations, and conservation efforts, paving the way for a future where clean, safe water is accessible to all.
Here is an infographic from Beltecno that explores the critical journey of industrial water storage and the need for sustainable management.
