New Frontier Data and report partners at the Resource Innovation Institute and Berkeley Cannabis Research Center present "Cannabis H2O: Water Use & Sustainability in Cultivation"

Our latest Analyst Report serves to foster a fundamental understanding of how--and how much-- water is used for cannabis cultivation, while also anticipating the cannabis industry's realities and identifying ways to improve resource efficiency.

Key findings include:
- By 2025, total water use of the legal cannabis market is expected to increase by 86%.
- Combined legal and illicit cannabis crops used nearly 2.8 billion gallons in 2020, with usage forecast to reach 3.6 billion gallons by 2025 fueled by demand-driven growth.
- The illicit market will remain the primary driver of water use over the next five years, accounting for 83% of water use in 2020, and declining to 69% in 2025.
- Water use practices are highly diverse in the new regulated cannabis industry, underscoring the need for well-tailored regulatory policies that are responsive to this diversity.
