Preparing Urban Water Use Efficiency Plans
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 facili...
Water Resources Planning
Showing professionals how to produce a long-term Integrated Resource Plan for their water utility, this comprehensive manual covers such topics as estimating future water demand, evaluating new sources of water, involvement of stakeholders in the planning process, and dealing with expanding environmental regulations.
Water Resources Planning, (M50)
This Manual of Water Supply Practices provides utility guidance on how to develop an integrated resource plan for ensuring adequate water supplies to accommodate projected future water demands. Covers all topics of water resources planning: demand forecasting, evaluation of potential new source waters, hydrologic modeling, regulatory issues, environmental impact analysis, public involvement, and economic analysis. Includes sample Integrated Resources Plans developed by water utilities.
Water Conservation Programs - A Planning Manual
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.
The Blessings of Disaster
Are we doomed? As individuals, certainly, eventually, inevitably. But as a species? As a civilization? Leading catastrophe engineer Michel Bruneau thinks perhaps not. The Blessings of Disaster draws on knowledge from multiple disciplines to illustrate how our civilization’s future successes and failures in dealing with societal threats—be they pandemics, climate change, overpopulation, monetary collapse, and nuclear holocaust—can be predicted by observing how we currently cope with and react to natural and technological disasters. Maybe most importantly, this entertaining and often counter-intuitive book shows how we can think in better ways about disasters, to strengthen and extend ou...
Preparing Urban Water Use Efficiency Plans, 2nd Ed
This second edition is supporting guidance for local water providers such that they can find cost effective ways to reduce water demands through conservation which is often the cheapest source of water supply. In addition, regional and national governmental agencies may leverage this guidance when they require plans from local utilities seeking to permit an expansion of their water supply by ensuring they have plans and are accountable to also reducing the demands by local water communities. The updated content includes modifications to the technical information (i.e., adjustments and more explanation of planning steps in preparing an Urban Water Use Efficiency Plan) along with revised case studies and examples. Academic level is for college-educated professionals in the water industry.
Water Conservation for Small and Medium-Sized Utilities
Annotation For utilities serving up to 100,000 customers, this book provides guidance on implementing a water conservation program. With a menu of conservation approaches from which to choose, the book lets utilities plan a custom program. Includes worksheets, cost analysis, sample programs, and recommended budgets.
Drought Preparedness and Response
Providing a reliable supply of water requires being prepared for water shortages of varying degree and duration, and preparing for drought and water shortages before they occur is the best defense. A Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) enables a water supplier to assess the risks and reduce the vulnerability of a community to drought impacts and establishes priorities that will provide water for public health and safety and minimize impacts on economic activity, environmental resources, and the region's lifestyle. M60 will help water managers facing water shortages by illustrating how to employ tried-and-true strategies and tactics of drought mitigation, as well as introducing new tools and methods. The manual accomplishes this by providing a step-by-step process to anticipate and respond to water shortages through a structured planning process.
