Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water policy in United States is one of the most complex topics in the field of public policy. This book, a comparative study of Texas, California, and Alabama’s drought response, provides for the first time a common framework for analysis to investigate how water scarcity and droughts have interacted with various state-level factors to produce a wide degree of variance in policy innovations. Using Toddi Steelman’s (2010) conceptual framework, the authors examine multiple variables that impact water policy innovation, while showing how one policy solution does not fit all. They expertly demonstrate divergence in water policies due to the environmental cultures, water distribution, and structures in each case, despite similar drought conditions. As water is increasingly stressed in the future, the ability to draw on lessons learned by these states will provide valuable insight to other entities that face droughts and water shortages. The Drought Dilemma is a must read for all those looking for recommendations for the construction of drought policy, as well as future approaches to understand comparative state drought policy.

Download or read book Drought Preparedness and Response written by and published by American Water Works Association. This book was released on 2011 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a reliable supply of water requires being prepared for water shortages of varying degree and duration. What can a municipal water supplier do to mitigate water shortages caused by drought? Preparing for drought and water shortages before they occur is the best defense. This manual will help water managers facing water shortages by illustrating how to employ tried-and-true strategies and tactics of drought mitigation, as well as new tools and methods. Managing water shortages involves temporarily reducing demand and finding alternate water to temporarily increase supply. There are options available to water managers to accomplish this. The manual provides a proven, seven-step process to anticipate and respond to water shortages through a structured planning process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water scarcity can be defined as a lack of enough water, or not having access to safe water supplies (Liu, Gosling and Yang). Due to population growth and shifts in rainfall over the coming decades, management of water resources may need to change. This thesis reports on how Texas deals with its current water scarcity to understand future options. While droughts cannot be prevented, the recent statewide Texas droughts in 2011 underscored the need for better preparation for responding to the impacts of drought. Having effective preparedness plans and an adequate supply is particularly critical to the proper management of water resources. (Division, 2005) This thesis describes how regions within Texas address issues such as droughts, climate change, population growth, and how Texas’s 16 Water Planning Regions respond to water shortage. Sections of the thesis examine drought preparedness strategies founding the 16 Regional Water Plans (2016). A Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) is a set of conservation measures that increase during different stages of drought. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) requires a DCP for any water entities that serves 3,000 connections or more. Emergency Drought Responses (EDR) are potential ways of increasing water supply during water scarcity conditions. The TWDB requires an EDR for any entities that serve fewer than 3,000 people or only have a single source of water supply. This report also includes data for water use in each Water Planning Region, to compare how much water the people in each region currently consume. After compiling information on DCPs, EDRs, and water use, the 16 Water Planning Regions were compared, and the results presented graphically. Regardless of the climate or the available water resources, Texas drought contingency strategies are similar and follow a trend to further improve conservation methods across regions. Most entities report that demand, not supply, is the biggest threat to water availability. Most plans address conditions of severe drought, but do not plan for more than the previous worst-case scenario. This thesis concludes that Texas may not be able to continue to provide water to all its consumers during the next major drought. It remains an open question whether Texas can increase supply from drought-proof sources, such as use of brackish groundwater. Drought Contingency Plans (DCP) rely mostly on consumer conservation efforts. Emergency Drought Responses (EDR) emphasize increasing water supply. My original hypothesis was that drier areas of Texas would have differing strategies than regions with ample annual rainfall. However, this research has indicated that this is not the case: DCPs and EDRs are comparable across Texas. Small communities across Texas conserve water with the limited resources they have. Large cities are improving water conservation strategies; with population growth, their conservation measures may not be enough because there is a limit to how much can be conserved.

Book excerpt: More than the economy, more than changing demographics, evenmore than education, water is the key to the future of Texas. It is not much of an overstatement to claim that water is the future of Texas. In the fall of 2000, a conference on "the world's most crucial natural resource" was held at Texas A&M University. It was a gathering of people with many viewpoints and areas of expertise, all focused on what the book's editors rightly say is and will be the state's definingissue--water. Together, the observations and recommendations brought together in this volume represent some of the best thinking about Texas' connections with water--in the past, present, and future. Ranging from broad historical overviews to technical and scientific discussions, the chapters address the questions of where we have been and where we are headed as we enter a new century of challenges to provide water for Texas.
