Sustainable Water Resources Management, Volume 3: Case Studies on a New Water Paradigm

Communities face new challenges with respect to water resource management. These challenges include increased water demands, climate variability, economic uncertainty, a complex web of regulations and bureaucracy, aging and degrading infrastructure, pollution and impaired water resources, and a broad range of stakeholders with poor understanding of water issues. This study, the third phase of the Sustainable Water Resources Management project, created a platform for communities to overcome these challenges through organizing around and operating under key sustainability principles and practices. The report uses examples and perspectives from two case study communities (Tucson/Pima County, Arizona and Northern Kentucky) to offer real world context.
