MILWAUKEE -- When it comes to the manufacturing sector, water is a precious and limited resource.
A.O. Smith Corporation and Marquette University are co-leading the U.S. Council on Competitiveness' latest sector study to address the issue.
The partners say they've identified key policies and actions to bring greater efficiency and productivity to the sector.
Now, they're looking for ways to overcome the increasing demand for water through innovation in technology, infrastructure, investment, and talent.
