This roadmap guides the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to catalyze technology development, implement best practices, and increase awareness of water management technology to address challenges in meeting water demand.
Client Need
Because about 25% of ASME’s members rely on water availability to process or deliver their primary products or services, ASME needed to define appropriate roles for addressing water management and develop priority activities it could champion to benefit ASME members and the nation.
Solution
Energetics brought together nearly 40 stakeholders to identify trends and drivers, define potential ASME roles, and collaboratively prioritize activities for ASME with a focus on R&D; implementation; and education, outreach, and training.
Results
ASME is using the roadmap to guide its efforts to expand water recycling and reuse, create training seminars and workshops on water technology, increase outreach, and partner with water technology and management organizations.
