I am coining the phenomenon as "the forgotten factor"; the direct relationship between improving water efficiency and reducing energy consumption. When considering energy efficiency improvements no one seems to employ the very relevant connection between Water Efficiency and Energy Reductions. Studies have been done, the information is clear yet little attention is afforded to the value of "the forgotten factor"; water efficiency. The potential savings of dollars & kilowatts, directly related to improving water efficiency is staggering; and along with that we reduce societal demands on our potable water resources. Improving water efficiency is one of the most important environmental efforts we can employ; just ask any of the communities that are running out of water. When was the last time you worried about getting fresh water from a faucet or flushing the toilet? It will likely happen sooner than you think. AquaPro@aquaenvi.org AquaPro The Forgotten Factor

It's not the direct of drinking water though that's the main problem, it's the food we eat and all the water that's needed to grow crops and feed animals. For instance it can take a few liters of water just to create a handful of rice, and many liters of water to make just one pork chop. So, as we import more and more food, we're also importing thousands of decaliters of virtual water that was used up to grow it.
