Biomembrane & Water Management Innovation Complimentary to Industrial Needs


Description:
Water serves a key role in economic and industrial growth. Without adequate supplies of water, industrial production would grind to a halt. This session seeks talks that will clarify the water needs of various industries and include some strategies for how certain industries cope with reduced water resources. Talks are also sought that describe strategies for improving water efficiency and reducing overall water footprint.
