I am writing this because, in working with the Brooking's presentation on "Infrastructure" Thursday, May 18th session 9:30 AM, I came across some item in infrastructure to meet climate change--which was unaddressed by those knowledgeable participants; but that I want to emphasize in this missile!
As much as possible water that would otherwise flood city streets and rural lands could, as wastewater at least, be piped to areas suffering from drought--either farmland or residential areas--if feasible. For drinking water the wastewater would need to be further purified, of course.
My thought is that the science is there to make the reuse of water possible.
Also, I have been told that cement, already decarbonized is reusable time and time again. There may be many other construction materials, decarbonized for reuse.
I express these suggestions in the hope that ways can be found to pipe water where it is sorely needed, due to climate change and to reuse materials in infrastructure already decarbonized.
