"Water and energy have always been closely related. Water is essential for providing energy, just as energy is needed to provide water. This means there must be a delicate balance between the two. I appreciate that Exxon realizes its important role in effectively stewarding freshwater resources, which account for only 1 percent of total available water on Earth. From what I've read, I can see that Exxon focuses its efforts on preventing adverse impacts to water resources and prudently managing the water the company uses."
