Rapid Adaptation to Resource and Financial Drought Conditions: A Primer for Utilities
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2013: Showcasing the Future
Abstract
The developed world has been forged on the supply side. In the past, we've assumed that we could engineer our way out of trouble. However, "when we build big, we build wrong." This is because we typically build within a narrow band of expected environmental and financial conditions. Those assumptions, spurred by the relative passivity of the Holocene epoch, are being proven to be invalid for the future. Solving the water and financial volatility issues rapidly and effectively with Smart Grid installations will be a key hallmark of sustainable cities and will provide a unique competitive advantage for those cities in other jurisdictions.
