Demand management, or water conservation, is frequently the lowest-cost resource available to the Water Authority and its member agencies. Water conservation is a critical part of the Water Authority’s long-term strategy for meeting water supply needs of the San Diego region. The goals of the Water Authority’s water conservation program are to: (1) reduce demand for more expensive, imported water; (2) demonstrate continued commitment to the Best Management Practices and Agricultural Efficient Water Management Practices; and (3) ensure a reliable future water supply.
