Implementing Water 2070: Water Conservation Planning for Florida Communities

As Water 2070 confirms, significant water conservation measures are essential to lessen development-related water demand in Florida over the coming decades. Dr. Pierce Jones, Director of the University of Florida’s Program for Resource Efficient Communities, discusses water conservation planning for Florida’s communities based on studies on behalf of the Toho Water Authority, Envision Alachua (Plum Creek), and other local governments, developers, and water authorities. Dr. Nick Taylor, UF/IFAS State Specialized Agent, follows up with a discussion of residential irrigation water trends based on utility billing records from several regions of Florida.
