Whether your system has recovered from drought before, or if you are preparing your system for drought resiliency, it is important to understand the current and future risks to your water supplies. This workshop will help you address your system’s drought vulnerability, establish an effective water loss control program, and reduce water usage to conserve resources and reduce operating costs.

You Will Learn:
• How to plan for drought and understand water supply management;
• How to manage water loss to save water, extend supplies, cut energy use and operating costs, address failing infrastructure, and mitigate impacts of limited water resources;
• How water systems can promote conservation while protecting revenues; and
• AWWA Water Auditing techniques.
