What can a municipal water provider do to mitigate water shortages attributable to drought? getting ready for drought and water shortages sooner than they ensue is the easiest security. This guide may also help water managers dealing with water shortages by means of illustrating how you can hire tried-and-true suggestions and strategies of drought mitigation, in addition to new instruments and techniques. handling water shortages consists of quickly decreasing call for and discovering exchange water to quickly bring up provide. there are alternatives on hand to water managers to complete this. The handbook offers a confirmed, seven-step procedure to count on and reply to water shortages via a dependent making plans technique.

ESTABLISH STAGES The most common approach to managing water demand during a water shortage is to use a staged approach, with increasing levels of savings in each successive stage. A typical staged reduction is shown in the Table 5-1. A description of the specific measures in each stage should be prepared as is shown in Table 5-1. This list is a general guide. The actual plan developed by a water supplier may differ depending on local circumstances. Stage 1relies primarily on voluntary action by customers.
