With the world hunting for a solution, hydrogen is increasingly being looked to as an enabler of the deep decarbonization needed to move the dial.

Partnership and infrastructure in the United States: A review of the history of public-private infrastructure investments in the United States

History can be a powerful tool for innovation and improving analysis in times of change. One can argue that U.S. infrastructure is currently working through such a period.

Water use in Arizona was increasing until 1980 when the pivotal Groundwater Management Act (GMA) was passed. The GMA created the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) and provided a complex framework of laws, rules, management plans, and policies that has ensured smart water management practices are undertook by all sectors.
