Water, Water Everywhere
As I delve deeper into the subject of water efficiency, it becomes increasingly clear that it is the proverbial onion: Peeling back one layer reveals several hundred more waiting to be explored. Water efficiency is a complex and wildly diverse topic, and within that context two or more heads are definitely better than one. Our Editorial Advisory Board was formed in order to give our readers the greatest possible coverage of every aspect of water efficiency. In that vein, we have rounded up a variety of experts in the field: men and women who are familiar with everything from public outreach to infrastructure improvements to irrigation and water reclamation. Please let me take a moment to introduce the water efficiency professionals who have generously agreed to offer their talent and expertise to the Water Efficiency Editorial Advisory Board.—Elizabeth Cutright, editor
