Assessing the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Industrial Water Use Productivity and Efficiency Within the Great Lakes Region

The assessments that were conducted focused on four factors: 1. Potential water conservation opportunities; 2. Benefits and costs from the water user's perspective; 3. The environmental benefits of undertaking those conservation opportunities; and 4. A strategy for providing funding assistance to industries.
