Podcast: Is America’s Water Infrastructure Falling Apart?

Riggs Eckelberry is the Founder and CEO of the innovative water technology company, OriginClear, which is delivering water solutions for industrial customers worldwide. OriginClear has developed and licensed an invention that treats industrial and agricultural waste water with very little energy, and no chemicals. And now, industrial users can treat their water right where they use it, using prepackaged “point of use” water treatment systems that have an amazing life cycle of up to 100 years or more.

A new investment opportunity called “water on demand” enables anyone to fund water projects, earn royalties, and contribute to the major megatrend of agriculture and industry’s self-sufficient water treatment
The US does poorly in recycling, ranking second to last globally for water recycling with only 20%, while Spain ranks second with 20% water recycling, and Israel recycles approximately 90% of its water

Why algae could be a viable replacement for fossil fuels as a source of biofuels
Why, in order to address this situation, we need a structural change in the way we handle water
