Southwest Hydrology on Water Conservation

The current issue (Nov/Dec) of Southwest Hydrology focuses on water conservation and contains stories, stats and case studies on how to design successful water conservation programs.

Southwest Hydrology is a free, bimonthly magazine published by the NSF Center for Sustainability of semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas based in Arizona. The publication is targeted toward hydrologists, water managers, and other professionals working with water issues. Although Southwest Hydrology, as the name implies, draws content primarily from the Southwest, each issue is packed with information that is widely applicable.

The current issue is all about water conservation and it features a number of good articles including:

• Sustaining Agriculture in an Uncertain Future: The Role of Water Efficiency (PDF)

• Making Every Drop Work in California’s CII [Commercial, Industrial and Institutional] Sector (PDF)

• Can Water Providers Afford Conservation? (PDF)

• Residential Savings: How Much and at What Cost?(PDF)
