Energy and water are indispensable resources for life and for economic and social well-being and development.
Climate change, the search for sustainable development, scarcity of resources, and geopolitical changes have had strong implications. Thus, a new paradigm emerges that requires a change in behaviors in the public and private domains, in terms of management and better efficiency in the use of these resources.
In this sense, R&D and technology play a major role for better efficiency and sustainability in the use of this resource.
