Water Efficiency Strategies
courtesy of United States Environmental Protection Agency

Drinking water systems can implement water efficiency measures and still deliver an unchanged or improved level of service to consumers while reducing overhead costs. Improving water efficiency reduces operating costs (e.g., pumping and treatment) and reduces the need to develop new supplies and expand our water infrastructure. It also reduces withdrawals from limited freshwater supplies, leaving more water for future use and improving the ambient water quality and aquatic habitat.

More and more utilities are using water efficiency and consumer conservation programs to increase the sustainability of their supplies. Case studies demonstrate substantial opportunities to improve efficiency through supply-side practices, such as accurate meter reading and leak detection and repair programs, as well as through demand-side strategies, such as conservation-based water rates and public education programs.

Supply-Side Strategies for Water Suppliers

Accounting for Water—Accounting for water is an essential step toward ensuring that a water utility is sustainable. This is best accomplished when water systems meter use by their customers. Metering helps to identify losses due to leakage and also provides the foundation on which to build an equitable rate structure to ensure adequate revenue to operate the system.

Water Loss Control—National studies indicate that, on average, 14 percent of the water treated by water systems is lost to leaks. Some water systems have reported water losses exceeding 60 percent. Accounting for water and minimizing water loss are critical functions for any water utility that wants to be sustainable.

Demand-Side Strategies for Water Suppliers

Water Rates—One of the most effective ways to reduce demand for water is to establish rates that escalate as more water is used.

Consumer Efficiency—Consumers can reduce water use by installing water-efficient products or employing efficiency practices, such as turning the water off while brushing teeth or running washing machines only when they are full. Water systems can promote these actions through consumer rebate and education programs.

EPA's WaterSense Program—WaterSense seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water-efficient products, programs, and practices. Visit the website for information on water-efficient products and practices, as well as utilities who offer rebates for WaterSense labeled products. Water systems can also apply to become a WaterSense program partner and receive tools they can use to promote their own water efficiency programs.

Read the excerpt from Early Victorian Tea Set.

In the eighteenth century Josiah Wedgwood had made some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics – in jasper and basalt – in Britain, but this tea set shows that by the 1840s, when Wedgwood produced it, the company was aiming at a much wider market. This is quite clearly mid-range pottery, simple earthenware of a sort that many quite modest British households were then able to afford. But the owners of this particular set must have had serious social aspirations, because all three pieces have been decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver.

Which descriptive details from the text best help the reader visualize the specific early Victorian tea set that is the central topic of the text?

some of the most expensive stoneware ceramics
aiming at a much wider market
quite clearly mid-range pottery
decorated with a drape of lacy hallmarked silver

I think River Elementary School needs a recycling program so that we can help keep the earth clean. Many other schools have recycling programs. The students in those schools collect used paper and empty drink containers and send them to recycling centers. Recycling centers use the old paper to make new paper. They use the old containers to make new containers and other products. We need a recycling program like this at our school. 2Students and teachers throw away a lot of used paper, and it mostly ends up in the earth. If we had a used-paper collection box in each classroom near the trash bin, students and teachers could put their used paper into the collection box instead of throwing it away. Then we could send this used paper to a recycling center. If we did this, less paper would go into the earth. 3Some people do not think that recycling paper is important. Paper falls apart easily and becomes part of the earth quickly after it is buried. For this reason, some people do not think that throwing away paper is harmful. But what they forget is that trees are used to make paper. In fact, every person uses about two trees’ worth of paper each year! Trees are so important to nature. They help keep the air clean. Plus, many animals make their homes in trees. By recycling paper instead of throwing it away, we can make the world a better place. 4Many drink containers are made of foil, metal, or plastic. These materials are harmful to the earth because they do not break apart when they are buried. If we collected empty drink containers at our school and recycled them, they wouldn't harm the earth. We can even hold contests to see which class can collect the most drink containers. That will make our recycling program fun. Some companies might even give our school money for the containers we collect. We could use this money to buy equipment or supplies. Recycling can help our school and the earth at the same time! 5 Please help to start a recycling program. To start a program, we need help from the school principal, the janitor, and our parents. Each classroom in the school needs a used-paper collection box. We can make these ourselves out of empty cardboard boxes. We can use garbage cans with clear bags to collect empty drink containers in the lunchroom. We can make posters to show people where to put the used paper and empty containers. We students care about the earth, and want to keep it clean. We need a recycling program to do this—and we all need to pitch in to start one!

Which of these arguments opposes the text's argument using a straw man fallacy? Use the table given. A) School sports programs will end if the school's money goes to a recycling program. B) Recycling is not going to keep the Earth clean because people will always have trash. C) Gillian White does not know enough about recycling programs to write anything about it. D) If we start recycling, kids will not have time to eat, and they will fail all their tests.
