The great drought affecting the area of Lake Powell's Glen Canyon Dam to hit its record point where the Colorado River flow is presented with 9% less than the minimum required to supply California, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico. The 79% of Western U.S. was in at least severe drought, and 45% of the region was in the two highest categories of drought--extreme to exceptional. Two more years and the Colorado River is over, was predicted for 2015 in several studies.

  1. Using EAWC Energy Module Technologies, including steam heat to energy or waste heat to energy, you are using renewable energy in place of fossil fuels. This not only saves energy costs, but allows creation of carbon credits for reducing CO2 in the atmosphere. Selling of carbon credits is an additional means in which to tackle climate change.
