Maintain sufficient water supply to meet demand

Approach

Tactics

Attribute causes of potable water loss to determine appropriate response.
Investigate alternative water sources (e.g., ground water).
Consider constructing new wells, cisterns, and reservoirs.
Increase water storage with artificial storage infrastructure (e.g., water towers).
Import water from other regions.

Sensitivity

• Lower summer flows and lower groundwater recharge will cause higher demand and competition for water by municipalities and agriculture.

Strategy

Maintain and enhance hydrologic processes
