Water is essential to manufacturing operations; without it, many facilities could not operate or meet production demands. Physical, reputational, and regulatory risks to water supplies compounded by climate change-induced impacts on hydrological conditions threaten the adequacy of water supplies for manufacturing. Manufacturing water use has not been a major focus of either water or manufacturing-related research. Research and development (R&D) aimed at helping manufacturers use water more sustainably and adapt to changing water conditions is needed to ensure a thriving sector and economy. However, the ability to identify R&D needs is severely limited due to a lack of current, statistically representative data on manufacturing water use and its environmental implications. In this Perspective, we outline four key questions to inform R&D on manufacturing use and highlight how the current state of water data in the United States does not support the adequate investigation of these questions. We make recommendations for the water data characteristics needed to explore the research questions and knowledgeably inform R&D on manufacturing water use.

美国制造业用水数据和估计:支持制造业研发的现状、限制和未来需求

水对制造操作至关重要;没有它,许多设施将无法运行或无法满足生产需求。水供应的物理、声誉和监管风险,加上气候变化对水文条件的影响,威胁到制造用水的充足性。制造用水并不是水或制造相关研究的主要焦点。研发 (R&D) 旨在帮助制造商更可持续地用水并适应不断变化的水条件,以确保行业和经济的蓬勃发展。然而,由于缺乏有关制造用水及其环境影响的当前具有统计代表性的数据,因此识别研发需求的能力受到严重限制。在这个视角中,我们概述了四个关键问题,以告知 R& D 关于制造用途,并强调美国目前的水数据状况如何不支持对这些问题的充分调查。我们为探索研究问题所需的水数据特征提出建议,并为研发提供有关制造用水的知识。
