In partnership with Pacific Institute, and the City of Phoenix, we are helping to install leak detection devices from Sensor Industries on toilets in low-income senior housing, enabling building management to quickly detect and repair toilet leaks in Phoenix, Arizona. The project is expected to save an estimated 2.3 million liters of water annually through leak detection and repair and it builds on successful leak detection pilots conducted in Los Angeles and other U.S. cities.

Gila River Indian Community Casa Blanca and San Tan Canal Feasibility Study
The Gila River Indian Community (known as the “Community”) proposes to undertake a project in response to the Community’s vision to become the first Native American irrigation project in the Nation to be carbon neutral and lead by example in meeting the challenges of the water and energy nexus in the southwestern United States. This project will include feasibility studies for two Canal Energy Systems (CES). One feasibility study will focus on the expansion of the current Casa Blanca Canal CES Project and the second feasibility study will focus on the development of the San Tan Canal CES Project. When completed, the two feasibility studies will support future CES project development, which will in tern reduce evaporative losses from the canal and would generate clean, renewable energy to benefit the Gila River Indian Community.

Gila River Indian Community Solar Over Canal
The Gila River Indian Community proposes to undertake a project in response to the Community’s vision to become the first Native American irrigation project in the Nation to be carbon neutral. This project will include the design, development and implementation of a Canal Energy System. A network of solar panels will span over the Casa Blanca Canal and will reduce evaporative losses from the canal while generating clean, renewable energy to benefit the Community.
