Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many communities are facing water scarcity in developing and developed countries alike. There are numerous publications and on-going research studies documenting the changes in our climate and potential for worsening shortages in our future. Meeting future potable water demands as communities continue to grow will rely heavily on using our existing water resources more efficiently. Preparing Urban Water Use Efficiency Plans provides detailed approaches to developing and implementing a water conservation plan. This book covers the broad spectrum of conservation planning for urban communities including achieving more efficiency from: Residential domestic uses Commercial and governmental facilities use Industrial uses Pricing Water Loss Control Programs The steps in the Guide clearly outline and provide sample calculations to aid determining which water use efficiency activities are financially justifiable to undertake. The end result is a plan that policy decision makers can adopt and fund, and that water service provider staff can implement to help increase their community's water reliability. It includes numerous case studies and a Microsoft Excel based software tool to allow planners to evaluate the business case for implementing various water conservation activities. This book is an essential resource for professionals in water and wastewater resources, particularly for planners and engineers. It is also a useful guide for Post Graduate and Undergraduate students. Author(s): Lisa Maddaus, William Maddaus and Michelle Maddaus, Maddaus Water Management Inc.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Evaluating the cost-effectiveness of water-efficiency programs can be difficult, because not all the benefits are easily quantified. This report presents an economic framework based on two tools from the California Urban Water Conservation Council to estimate the avoided costs and environmental benefits of an agency's efficiency programs. The report evaluates the benefits of Denver Water efficiency programs and uses an exploratory modeling approach to accommodate the significant uncertainty in such estimations. The results of this study suggest that the inclusion of long-run avoided costs and environmental benefits is critical to fully recognizing the value of water-use efficiency programs. The authors find that evaluating only the short-run avoided costs leads to the conclusion that many water-efficiency projects already a part of Denver Water's 10-year conservation plan are not cost-effective. When long-run avoided costs and environmental and recreational benefits were factored in, all but two Denver Water programs were estimated to be cost-effective. The timing of projected water savings from efficiency programs is also critical. Water savings from programs that concentrate savings during summer months, when water is scarcer, should be valued higher than saving from programs that lead to more uniform water savings throughout the year, because these water savings reduce peak water needs." -- publisher's website.

Book excerpt: This new manual discusses the benefits of water conservation programs that are carefully designed and implemented. It is a water conservation planning guide for city water utilities that provides worksheets, steps, goals, and program participant responsibilities and roles. It also discusses water conservation rates, support for water pricing adjustments, involvement of various outside groups, obstacles to overcome, the efficient utilization of available sources of supply, public recognition and participation, and success measurement.

Download or read book Water Efficiency Programs for Integrated Water Management written by Thomas W. Chesnutt and published by Amer Water Works Assn. This book was released on 2007 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research provides a conceptual framework organizing information about WUE programs (costs, savings, and benefits) in ways that make for more informed water resources decisions. Chapters are provided for each of these concepts. In addition, two planning models developed and tested in the research process--a Water Utility Direct Avoided Cost Model and a Benefit-Cost WUE Planning Model--are provided on CD-ROM. A compendium of working assumptions for WUE savings and costs estimates was compiled as part of this research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this standard is to establish criteria for the establishment of a formal utility water conservation and efficiency program for utilities that wish to implement such a program under this standard. This standard can be referenced in the development and evaluation of water utility conservation and efficiency programs. Major revisions made to the standard include updating of the title and multiple sections to include the terminology water conservation "and efficiency"; new requirement for water shortage or drought plan; updated requirements related to metering, rate structures, and billing; a new section related to landscape transformations; updated current utility requirements related to water audit, validation, and public availability; new section to reflect integration of water efficiency into land-use planning, clarified that wholesale agency requirements should be appropriate and consistent with governing authorities; and updated documentation to ensure correspondence with new requirement sections that were added.
