With the increasing demand for both water and energy, innovative approaches are needed to manage these two resources. Technical papers and panel sessions will be presented throughout the conference. Topics address a wide array of water and energy technologies and issues related to traditional energy sources - including thermoelectric, hydroelectric, oil and gas production - and alternative energy sources including biofuels, wind and solar.
Home and industry-scale water and energy efficiency technologies and case studies will be presented. The conference is being presented by the West Virginia Water Research Institute.
