Publisher's Synopsis
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.
