Army Overseas Water Sustainability Study

Abstract

A key concern for the US Army is the vulnerability of military installations to critical resource issues. Water issues of concern (adequate supply, cost of production, quality, habitat degradation, and salinity) already impact military installations and military operations around the globe. There is a need to assess vulnerability of regions and installations to water supply and to develop strategies to ameliorate any adverse effects on military sustainment. This work assessed regional water scarcity as it affects Army installations in three overseas locations (US Army Garrison Grafenwoehr, Germany; US Army Garrison Vicenza, Italy; and US Army Garrison Humphreys, Korea) to ensure continued viability and sustainability of Army operations.
