Report - Paths for Equitably Advancing Water Conservation in the San Francisco Bay Area

New solutions are urgently needed to ensure a sustainable water supply future for the San Francisco Bay Area, and water conservation ranks among the most effective strategies. Through conservation, communities can reduce drought impacts and accommodate growth with lower cost, energy, and environmental impact than it would take to develop new supplies. Conservation must be implemented thoughtfully, however, to avoid unintended consequences to affordability, quality of life, wastewater operations, and recycled water supply.
