Water and wastewater industry leaders in Texas and throughout the United States have expressed concern over high rates of retirement eligibility and difficulties finding and attracting workers ready to fill job openings, especially for work in smaller systems. In late January 2018, the U.S. Government Accountability Office released a report on water workforce readiness and a bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate to establish a water infrastructure workforce development program. Concern over existing education of workers in water and demographic information projecting future workforce readiness are commonly cited as signaling a coming crisis for the water industry. An alignment …

The risk of water shortage has been posing as a threat to water demanding industries in Taiwan, including the high-tech industries where ultrapure water is needed for the production of microchips. Such risks are especially unpredictable in the age of climate change, where more frequent extreme climate events such as prolonged droughts have sent these industries scrambling for securing water supply at a very high cost. The national policy also mandates strict water recycling standards for these high-tech plants, while the risk of water supply shortage also forces the industry to be water-conscious. However, most plants set their water recycling …

Semiconductors are enabling technologies that drive today’s information economy by producing a broad spectrum of microelectronic consumer products including computers, flat-panel displays, sensors, storage devices, and lighting devices. Manufacturing of these semiconductor devices and products is capital and resources intensive and typically operates with either a vertically integrated manufacturing mode or with a cluster of supply-chain partnering companies in the vicinity of each other. Our research group has previously reported the water recycling and reuse efficiencies of ‘‘fabs” in the Science Parks in Taiwan (Lin et al., Res. Cons. Recycl. 2015), which exemplify this unique cluster of tech-manufacturing fabs demanding …
