Hmmm. It's quiet here. Not a lot of people. In fact, I haven't seen another hiker all morning.

The stream makes its easy, peaceful way through the landscape, not in a hurry, not in a hurry at all.

Neither am I.

English – The Conversation | Water conservation works, but climate change is outpacing it: Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas offer a glimpse of the future by Renee Obringer, Assistant Professor in the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute, Penn State

The Denver suburb of Castle Rock, Colo., limits water use in future developments. Homeowners are embracing water-efficient yards.

It might raise water-use rates or offer incentives for installing low-flow devices.

While demand management techniques like these have had a lot of success in reducing water use, our new research suggests that they may not be effective enough in the face of climate change.

We looked at three cities in the Colorado River Basin – Phoenix, Las Vegas and Denver – to understand what each could do to increase demand management amid water shortages and how far those methods could go as temperatures rise and the Colorado River’s flow weakens.

Getting people involved can change attitudes

Demand management is not always enough

What else cities can do

Carlsbad, Calif., on the Pacific Ocean in San Diego County, built a desalination plant to make seawater drinkable. It produces 50 million gallons a day, but that water is among the costliest in the region.
