Abstract

In 1994 the City of Albuquerque realized that the management of its municipal water supply was becoming a critical issue. The City commissioned studies to determine the best course of action to create a sustainable water supply through the year 2060. To meet this challenge, the City began developing the Albuquerque Water Resources Management Strategy, with a goal to reduce residential and industrial water use by 30 percent by the year 2004. In response to the City´s water issues, Philips Semiconductors-Albuquerque began a pro-active plan to reduce water use at their Albuquerque semiconductor facility
