Water Supply and Conservation

Photo source

The water supply is the total quantity of water available for consumption by humans and for other uses. Water conservation is the practice of using water more efficiently, reducing water use, and capturing all available sources such as rainwater harvesting. This includes pricing water to promote conservation and reusing water (recycling) water according to its quality. Water conservation may also include leaving water or returning water to a stream to ensure adequate in-stream flows. Water conservation techniques help to secure a sustainable water supply.

Did You Know?

I n 1991 the East County Water Conservation Committee determined that a water conservation garden would be an effective method to demonstrate landscape water savings. Its intent was to create a state-of-the-art demonstration garden that would operate as a learning resource center for the public. Today, the resulting Water Conservation Garden -- with its five acres of beautiful themed gardens (such as a native plant garden and a vegetable garden) and how-to displays (such as mulch, fire-wise planting, and irrigation exhibits) -- serves as an invaluable learning laboratory for water conservation. See the Garden's website to learn more.
