CBO and the Earth Genome are developing a decision-support tool for corporations to use when making decisions about sustainable water use.

A web-based, data-driven tool will help water-intensive corporations make better decisions about how much and where to invest in green infrastructure in order to deliver better storage, higher quality water and flood control.

The pilot tool focuses on helping Dow Chemical screen potential sites in a Texas river basin where the company can restore river-floodplain connectivity and wetlands to enhance upstream storage and offset the need for more expensive gray alternatives.

The goal includes scalability of the tool for the U.S. and India.
