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.

This book discusses the utilization of water conservation-oriented rates (WCORs) to foster both sustainability of water provision and environmental stewardship, especially during periods of drought. WCORs are designed to promote conservation through such rate mechanisms as excess surcharges (ES), drought demand rates (DDR), inclining block rates (IBR), seasonal rates (SR), and time-of-use rates (TOU), and in a manner that is sensitive to regional, physical, and population/user characteristics. This report looked at states' experiences with water conservation-oriented rates under both normal and drought conditions, and showed how states and utilities have coped with the social and economic implications of their implementation.

Water conservation, once invoked only in times of drought, is now being considered as a viable tool to optimize existing water supplies and hold down water and sewer costs. As water managers, engineers, and policymakers consider the potential of water conservation measures and more efficient use especially in light of increased demands on finite resources, they now have a long-needed sourcebook. The Handbook of Water Conservation addresses the technical planning and policy basics involved with this pressing issue. Only a recognized leader in the water conservation field could assemble those essentials in one place. For more than a decade, Amy Vickers has brought her water conservation and engineering expertise to water utility and related clients throughout North America and Europe. Written to advance the science of water efficiency, the Handbook of Water Conservation is sure to become a definitive reference work for water engineers, regulatory officials, and conservationists alike.
