No water, no hydrogen. It's that simple. Or is it?
                                    
The world’s climate has a limited ability to evaporate sea water, generate rain clouds and replenish creeks, rivers and lakes with fresh water – water is a limited resource.
                                    
Given the geography of many producing oil and gas fields in the Middle East, Central West USA and other water-scarce locations, there is an increasing interest in the potential water resource value of produced water.
                                    
The nuclear power of the 2020s is not your grandparents’ kind of nuclear power. However, it typically still requires water supply, water treatment, and wastewater management.
                                    
Energy storage made simple. Using water, gravity, and strategically placed turbines.
                                    
The pressure on water resources will ultimately result in a change in how water is priced, regulated, and perceived.
                                    
Coal seam gas produced water passes through multiple systems and processes as it moves from well to beneficial use. Understanding and managing the inter- and intra-system interfaces – and selecting the right solution – is crucial to achieving a successful outcome for capital and operating costs, water quality, beneficial use of treated water and brine, and overall asset integrity.
                                    
In the last four decades there has been a steady increase in the use of desalination for low salinity, high quality water production from high salinity or low quality source water. This increase has been due to improvements in the desalination technologies used, a steady decrease over time in the cost of producing desalinated water compared to treating fresh water from diminishing quality surface or ground water sources, and stricter government regulations for wastewater discharges, making wastewater reclamation an increasingly viable alternative to treating fresh water.
                                    
Project feasibility is often dependent on identifying and establishing a reliable water source. Lucien Lyness explains how subsurface regimes are often overlooked, despite offering vast naturally-occurring storage capacity and regional continuity.
                                    
Compliance with new Effluent Limitation Guidelines promulgated under the Clean Water Act was modeled through the development of a complex GoldSim Water Balance dynamically linked to Phreeqc water chemistry.
