Water Conservation and Reuse
The Region C Water Planning Group considered the municipal water conservation strategies suggested
as best management practices by the Conservation Implementation Task Force and recommended a
water conservation program and reuse projects for Region C that accomplish the following:
" Including the.246,869 acre-feet per year of conservation built into the demand projections (for
low flow plumbing fixtures, efficient residential clothes washer standards, and efficient
residential dishwasher standards), a total conservation and reuse supply of over 1.16 million
acre-feet per year by 2070, 41 percent of the region's demand without conservation.
" A dry-year per capita municipal use for the region (after crediting for conservation and reuse)
ranging from 119 gpcd in 2020 to 105 gpcd by 2070.
Chapter 5E includes a more detailed discussion of conservation and reuse for the region.
Recommended Water Management Strategies
Table ES.1 lists the major recommended water management strategies for Region C. (Major water
management strategies are those supplying over 60,000 acre-feet per year or involving the construction
of a reservoir.) Table ES.3 at the end of this chapter lists all the recommended water management
strategies. Figure ES.4 shows the location of the recommended major water management strategies. In
total, the Region C plan includes water management strategies to develop 1.79 million acre-feet per
year of new supplies, for a total available supply of 3.43 million acre-feet per year in 2070. The supply is
about 16 percent greater than the projected demand, leaving a reasonable reserve to provide for
difficulties in developing strategies in a timely manner, droughts worse than the drought of record,
greater than expected growth, and supply for needs beyond this planning horizon.
Figure ES.5 shows the makeup of the 3.43 million acre-feet per year of supplies proposed to be available
to the region by 2070. About 37 percent of the supply is already available to the region from surface
water and groundwater; a little over a quarter (27 percent) is developed from conservation and reuse2016 Region C Water Plan ES.7
