Description
This is largely due to water loss and inefficiencies in the urban water systems. In this webinar the participants will learn about the “Energy performance and Carbon Emissions Assessment and Monitoring (ECAM) tool. This free open-source, web-based tool informs water and wastewater utilities on which solutions across the urban water cycle have the biggest impact to improve their service, while reducing emissions in and potentially lowering costs.
