Water Realities – The Times, They Are a Changin’ The Role of Water Innovation in Securing Our Ecomonic Future NAIOP Luncheon - March 25, 2019 Albuquerque Marriott Mike Hightower Research Professor, Center for Water and the Environment, University of New Mexico Mentor, Sandia National Laboratories Vice President, New Mexico Desalination Association mmhightower@unm.edu, mmhightower@q.com, 505-859-1563

Water is the Major GDP Economic Indicator Water for agriculture Water for manufacturing Water for energy Water for domestic needs Water for recreation “Water promises to be to the 21st century what oil was to the 20th century: the precious commodity that determines the wealth of nations.” Fortune Magazine, May 15, 2000

Southwest Climate History Based on Tree Ring Data Next abandonment/migration? Anasazi abandonment Petra Abandonment End of Mayan Classic Era Rome Collapse Angkor Wat abandonment Univ. of Arizona – Tree Ring Research Lab – 50 year averages The southern U.S. and the mid-latitudes are in the 100th year of a 300 year arid cycle - which have in the past led to significant stress on civilizations 3

Limitations on Fresh Surface and Ground Water Availability Little increase in surface water storage capacity since 1980 Concerns over climate impacts on surface water supplies ( Based on USGS WSP-2250 1984 and Alley 2007) Many major ground water aquifers seeing reductions in water quality and yield (Shannon 2007)

Major Climate Impacts Will be Precipitation/Evapotranspiration Mid-latitude countries will be significantly negatively impacted Nat. Geo. April 2009 from IPCC

Water-related Economic Concerns by 2030

Global Water Innovation Directions Innovative regulatory framework to enhance fresh water conservation and management – waste water reuse, ASR Use of water security, resiliency, and sustainability concepts – 100 year water plans Realistic/fair water commodity and infrastructure pricing structure Innovations to reduce ground water drawdown Innovations in watershed management Innovative use of non-traditional water supplies - brackish water, storm water, waste water, produced water
