State-of-the-Art Water Use Efficiency
Adam C. Leigland, P.E., AICP
Overview
It's
no secret that the Southwestern part of the U.S. is one of the driest regions in
the country. Given that water is so precious and scarce in the
Southwestern U.S., it is particularly important for municipalities in the
Southwest to encourage water use efficiency - both on the supply-side and the
demand-side.
This
course covers water use efficiency measures in the Southwestern U.S. outlined by
Western Resource Advocates in their document Smart Water: A Comparative
Study of Urban Water Use Across the Southwest*. Much can be learned
about water use efficiency by engineers across the U.S. by studying supply-side
and demand-side water conservation measures being taken in the barren Southwestern U.S.
The student must take a
multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of
this course to obtain PDH credits.
