The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) is spearheading an initiative called the “Billion Gallon Water Challenge” to preserve and protect water resources in Illinois.

ICTS has just completed an RFP for water conservations projects to support research grant programs that will help reach the goal to save 1,000,000,000 gallons of water in Illinois. ICTS will also be conducting outreach and technical assistance to applying entities to assist with their water-saving ideas and projects.

In addition, they  are encouraging the people of Illinois to join the challenge by making a personal pledge at the Billion Gallon Water Challenge website: http://istc.illinois.edu/water.cfm. So join in the Challenge; take the pledge today and let them know how you will help save water!  And spread the word to your friends to join, too!
