Water Infrastructure Jobs Calculator

Earth Economics’ Water Infrastructure Jobs Calculator demonstrates how green infrastructure projects can benefit local communities as water agencies face the challenge of initiating or scaling up water infrastructure projects. This interactive tool estimates the number of jobs created per every $1 million invested in sustainable, localized water infrastructure solutions.

Water infrastructure programs can offer water agencies—drinking, wastewater, stormwater—an important way to meet broader community needs. Small-scale, localized programs provide the same services as traditional infrastructure, safeguarding water supply and water quality, protecting ecosystems, and managing urban runoff. Often less expensive and easier to implement than grey infrastructure approaches, green infrastructure solutions also stimulate local economies. This interactive tool estimates the number of jobs created per every $1 million invested in sustainable, localized water infrastructure solutions.

Many water agencies face the challenge of initiating or scaling up water infrastructure projects. With this tool, we demonstrate how green infrastructure projects can benefit local communities.
