A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The debate is no longer whether climate change is real ‐ but rather how it will affect the earth's future. Global warming is now widely accepted as a reality ‐ and most experts agree that it is human‐caused. The effect of greenhouse gases pouring into the atmosphere is being demonstrated daily as storms grow stronger, ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica melt at alarming rates, and precipitation shifts northward. These and other potential environmental effects must become part and parcel of each utility's water supply planning efforts, just as this exercise would factor‐in population growth, increased demand, and water conservation.
