1. In 2016, the average levelized price of signed wind power purchase agreements was about 2.2 cents per kilowatt-hour. This price is cost competitive with new gas-fired power plants, and projected future costs compare favorably through 2040, according to the Energy Information Administration.* 1.

2. In 2017, the wind sector invested more than $11 billion in the U.S. economy to build projects and employed more than 105,500 workers.* 2. Wind energy creates jobs. Photo from Duke Energy *American Wind Energy Association. 2017. U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report, Year Ending 2017 .

3. 3. Wind energy helps to diversify the national energy portfolio. It’s also an indigenous, homegrown energy source that helps stabilize the cost of electricity and reduces vulnerability to price spikes and supply disruptions.   Photo from DOE Flickr. 431 002 011

4. 4. Wind energy provides income for farmers and ranchers, as well as economic benefits to communities. Revenue varies by region, but wind projects provide the communities in which they are located lease payments to landowners (~$3,000-$6,000/megawatt*), state and local tax revenues (~$7,000/megawatt), and employment.** Photo from Ruth Baranowski, NREL 16411 **American Wind Energy Association. 2017.

5. 5. Wind energy is an inexhaustible renewable energy source. Wind energy is plentiful and readily available, and capturing its power does not deplete our natural resources. At the end of 2017, nearly 89 gigawatts of wind energy were installed across the United States.* Analysis indicates that by 2020, the installed capacity of wind energy in the United States could reach 113 gigawatts, or 10% of annual end-use electricity demand.** Photo by Nebraska Public Power District, NREL 16442 *American Wind Energy Association. 2017.

6. 6. Wind turbines don’t consume water. Researchers estimate that wind power generation in 2017 reduced power-sector water consumption by 95 billion gallons, an amount equal to approximately 719 billion bottles of water.* Photo from DOE Flickr. 431 007 010 *American Wind Energy Association. 2017. U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report, Year Ending 2017 .

7. 7. Wind energy is clean. Electricity generated by wind turbines does not pollute the water we drink or the air we breathe, so wind energy means less smog, less acid rain, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.  If we increase wind power’s contribution to the eastern grid by 30%, we could reduce carbon production by almost 19%.* ** *Study based on Eastern interconnection wind penetration increase in 2024, compared to 2008 levels.

8. 8. Wind energy systems have low operating costs. This is because unlike other resources, there are no associated fuel costs with this form of generation.   Photo from DOE Flickr

9. 9. Wind energy can be used in a variety of applications. Utility-scale, distributed, community, small wind and remote applications can be used for schools, tribes, municipal utilities, rural electric cooperatives, homes, businesses, farms, ranches, water pumping, ice making, and telecommunications sites.   Photo by Northern Power Systems, NREL 16728

10. 10. Wind energy is deployed in all U.S. regions and is widely supported. Growth in wind power capacity over the 2007–2017 period averaged nearly 7.2 gigawatts per year.* A 2015 Gallup poll showed that more than 70% of Americans believed the United States should place more emphasis on wind energy development.**   *American Wind Energy Association. 2017. U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report, Year Ending 2017 . . **Gallup. 2015. U.S. Support for Nuclear Energy at 51% .

11. 11. High levels of wind energy can be integrated with minimal cost increases while providing environmental benefits. Research has shown that high levels of wind and solar can reduce net carbon emissions by one-third with only a 2% to 5% cost increase.* *National Renewable Energy Laboratory. 2013.

14. India's Water Resources Navigating Challenges and Solutions

15. The health of the ocean is in danger India, known for its rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes, is also home to one of the most complex India Water Resources systems globally. From the mighty rivers flowing down the Himalayas to the arid regions of Rajasthan, water plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation's economy, ecology, and societal fabric. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of India's water resources, exploring the challenges faced and the initiatives undertaken to ensure sustainable water management.

16. India grapples with a myriad of challenges concerning its water resources. The perennial struggle between quantity and quality remains a significant concern. While some regions face water scarcity due to inadequate rainfall and overexploitation of groundwater, others battle contamination and pollution of available water sources. Access to clean drinking water and equitable distribution further compound the issue, especially in rural areas. Challenges Faced

17. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-pronged approach involving government interventions, community participation, and technological innovations. The Government of India has launched several initiatives such as the Jal Jeevan Mission and Namami Gange to improve water accessibility and quality. Additionally, grassroots movements and NGO-led projects play a vital role in fostering community-led conservation efforts. Embracing technological solutions like IoT-enabled water management systems and satellite mapping aids in efficient resource allocation and monitoring. Management and Conservation Efforts

18. Agriculture, being the backbone of the Indian economy, heavily relies on water resources. Traditional irrigation methods, though widespread, often result in inefficient water usage. Implementing sustainable practices like drip irrigation and promoting drought-resistant crop varieties can help optimize water utilization in agriculture. Furthermore, the looming threat of climate change exacerbates the situation, leading to erratic rainfall patterns and prolonged droughts, thereby affecting crop yields. Impact on Agriculture

19. India's burgeoning industrial sector presents its own set of challenges concerning water management ( India Water Resources ). Industries such as textiles, chemicals, and manufacturing are notorious for their high water consumption and discharge of effluents. Effluent treatment plants are essential to mitigate the pollution caused by industrial waste. Moreover, embracing sustainable practices like water recycling and zero liquid discharge can minimize the environmental footprint of industries. Industrial Usage and Concerns

20. Rapid urbanization poses significant challenges to water management in cities. The burgeoning population exerts pressure on existing infrastructure, leading to water shortages and inadequate sanitation facilities. Urban planners must prioritize investments in water infrastructure and adopt innovative solutions like rainwater harvesting and decentralized wastewater treatment plants. Citizen awareness programs on water conservation and efficient usage are equally crucial in addressing urban water challenges. Urban Water Management

21. In rural India, where a substantial portion of the population resides, access to clean water remains a pressing issue. Remote villages often lack basic water infrastructure, forcing residents to rely on contaminated sources. Innovative solutions like community-led water purification systems and decentralized water supply schemes empower rural communities to take charge of their water needs. Initiatives focusing on women's involvement in water management further enhance sustainability and inclusivity. Rural Water Access

22. Amidst these challenges, platforms like the India Water Portal play a pivotal role in fostering dialogue, disseminating knowledge, and catalyzing action towards sustainable water management. With a vast repository of resources, tools, and case studies, the portal serves as a one-stop destination for stakeholders ranging from policymakers to grassroots organizations. Moreover, community engagement initiatives such as Jal Chaupal facilitate knowledge exchange and capacity building at the grassroots level. Role of India Water Portal

23. Looking ahead, achieving water security in India necessitates concerted efforts at all levels. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a roadmap for inclusive and sustainable water management practices. Embracing technological advancements like remote sensing and GIS mapping can revolutionize water resource monitoring and planning. Collaborative partnerships involving government, academia, industry, and civil society are paramount in realizing the vision of water for all. Future Outlook

24. Join our community, and together we can protect our ocean for a better future! For more information: www.indiawaterportal.org
