Regional Water Conservation Program Development and Recommended Implementation Plan

In 2007, the Upper Verde Watershed Protection Coalition Board identified the development of a regional water conservation plan to improve water use efficiency within the region as a high priority for the Coalition.
This report summarizes the results of Sub Tasks 1 and 2 of the Water Conservation Program Development work task. The objectives of Tasks 1 and 2 were to: 1) identify and evaluate existing water conservation efforts currently underway within the Coalition area, 2) develop water use metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of these efforts, and 3) analyze the results of the regional water conservation opinion survey conducted in 2007 by the Coalition members. These chapters provide the background analysis necessary for development of the regional water conservation program analysis and recommendations for program implementation found in Chapters 5 through 9.
