Global Water Technologies joins Indianapolis effort to
promote "living laboratory" for
sustainability
Local companies call for initiative
to support water technology innovation and
jobs
INDIANAPOLIS,
January 10, 2013 -- Global Water Technologies (OTC Pink: GWTR)
joins Peerless Pump, a Grundfos company, and the Construction
Engineering Management Technology program at Indiana University
Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI) in promoting a “living
laboratory” for sustainable water solutions.
The three organizations today issued the following open
letter:
Dear colleagues and community leaders,
We have an excellent opportunity in 2013 to create new solutions
using innovative water technology to make our communities more
sustainable, create new jobs and provide leadership on an important
issue for Indiana and the United States.
Across the country, aging water systems of underground pipes
routinely lose more than 20 percent of our drinking water through
undetected leaks and broken water mains. This is a big problem and
the American Water Works Association estimates that more than $1
trillion is needed nationally over the next 25 years for
underground infrastructure.
At the same time, growing water shortages and increased drought
conditions (which we all experienced last summer) are raising
awareness of how much we depend on fresh, clean water. We can no
longer ignore this problem - instead we must use new technology to
reduce water loss and better manage this valuable resource and our
critical water infrastructure.
Water clusters are developing in cities like Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Denver and San Francisco. Now we have a
unique opportunity to demonstrate how Indianapolis can use its
emerging technology community, strong research universities,
advanced manufacturing base, skilled and energetic people and local
entrepreneurship to create solutions that improve our system and
can be a model for others.
The concept of a “living laboratory” for water technologies has
been developed in partnership with several local companies and
Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). This
would allow new solutions for “people + pipes + policy” to be
tested in real-world conditions so that a “smart water grid” can be
created with better measurement, more efficient delivery and
greater customer education on water use and conservation.
We believe this new water effort will have a number of benefits for
Indianapolis and the Central Indiana region, including the
following:
• improve the local water & sewer infrastructure and
operations,
• provide opportunities for new businesses and entrepreneurs to
develop innovative ideas and create new jobs,
• encourage the development of education and training aimed at
building and supporting a skilled workforce for new businesses,
• encourage sales and exports from existing area businesses,
and
• improve water and sewer services and reduce total community
costs.
In addition, providing the means to improve our supply of water and
sewer services will encourage sustainable practices that reduce
water loss and save energy. Sustainability and compression thinking
is important in helping us maintain and improve our standard of
living in a time of limited financial and natural resources.
We are currently organizing an initiative to fully implement these
ideas and tap into the creativity and business leadership across
Central Indiana so that we can realize the benefits of
sustainability, economic development and job creation for our
region.
Please join us in this effort as we move forward in the coming
year. For more detailed information on this initiative and how you
can participate, please contact Tom Iseley at IUPUI, Andrew
Warrington at Peerless Pump or Erik Hromadka at Global Water
Technologies. (Click here for contact form)
