Net Zero Water

  • Net Zero Water Balance and Roadmap Programmatic Summary (PDF 144.86 KB)

    As part of water portion of the net zero initiative, water balance assessments and project road maps were created for each of the eight water pilots. The water balance assessments identified each pilot's current water demand and estimated water use for each major end-use including potable and industrial, landscaping, and agricultural water applications. The project roadmaps used the water balance results to create a strategy for the pilot to meet the reduction goals and site-specific net zero water objectives. Each roadmap contains water conservation measures (WCM) and a life-cycle cost analysis for each WCM to determine the economic effectiveness of each measure, both individually and as part of bundled projects. The Army Net Zero Water Balance and Roadmap Programmatic Summary presents the results of the water balance assessments and roadmaps.
