Water Efficiency Strategies
courtesy of United States Environmental Protection Agency

Drinking water systems can implement water efficiency measures and still deliver an unchanged or improved level of service to consumers while reducing overhead costs. Improving water efficiency reduces operating costs (e.g., pumping and treatment) and reduces the need to develop new supplies and expand our water infrastructure. It also reduces withdrawals from limited freshwater supplies, leaving more water for future use and improving the ambient water quality and aquatic habitat.

More and more utilities are using water efficiency and consumer conservation programs to increase the sustainability of their supplies. Case studies demonstrate substantial opportunities to improve efficiency through supply-side practices, such as accurate meter reading and leak detection and repair programs, as well as through demand-side strategies, such as conservation-based water rates and public education programs.

Supply-Side Strategies for Water Suppliers

Accounting for Water—Accounting for water is an essential step toward ensuring that a water utility is sustainable. This is best accomplished when water systems meter use by their customers. Metering helps to identify losses due to leakage and also provides the foundation on which to build an equitable rate structure to ensure adequate revenue to operate the system.

Water Loss Control—National studies indicate that, on average, 14 percent of the water treated by water systems is lost to leaks. Some water systems have reported water losses exceeding 60 percent. Accounting for water and minimizing water loss are critical functions for any water utility that wants to be sustainable.

Demand-Side Strategies for Water Suppliers

Water Rates—One of the most effective ways to reduce demand for water is to establish rates that escalate as more water is used.

Consumer Efficiency—Consumers can reduce water use by installing water-efficient products or employing efficiency practices, such as turning the water off while brushing teeth or running washing machines only when they are full. Water systems can promote these actions through consumer rebate and education programs.

EPA's WaterSense Program—WaterSense seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water-efficient products, programs, and practices. Visit the website for information on water-efficient products and practices, as well as utilities who offer rebates for WaterSense labeled products. Water systems can also apply to become a WaterSense program partner and receive tools they can use to promote their own water efficiency programs.

It debates whether water loss control or accounting for water is more effective to achieve efficiency.

It describes how and when water meters were first used to measure water usage.

It provides detailed instructions for using a water meter and locating where leaks are most likely to occur.

Answer:

for part a) The author uses a heading for each method of conserving water.

for part b) It provides examples of ways consumers can reduce their water usage.

Explanation:

took the quiz

The author provides several solutions for efficient and sustainable water systems such structure does the author use to organize information in the text “Water Efficiency Strategies”. The correct option is D.

When we talk about water sustainability, we're talking about how readily available fresh water is for bathing, drinking, industrial use, and farming. Despite the fact that more than 70% of the surface of the Earth is covered by the ocean, desalination is required before sea water may be utilized as drinking water.

The sustainability of the residential water supply includes reducing water use through the use of waterless toilets, water-saving appliances, and water quantity monitoring. A stable network and less water waste are provided by effective piping systems that are leak-free and effectively insulated.

Thus, the ideal selection is option D.
