Water systems are not immune from the effects of periodic drought conditions. Either short- or long-term water shortages can be mitigated by proper planning.

This webcast describes how water utilities can effectively respond to drought conditions. Presenters discuss the main elements of a successful drought management plan. Several examples of the effective execution of utility drought response plans are also presented.

Learning Objectives

  • Design drought responses that work and avoid commonly experienced pitfalls!
  • Formulate drought response plans that integrate into utility operations seamlessly.
  • Develop drought rates that encourage conservation without added expense to the utility.
