Annual Report (2015)
A summary of the year's activities.
Ensuring revenue stability for utilities while supporting needed conservation efforts became the watchwords of 2015 for the Alliance for Water Efficiency. Our Financing Sustainable Water initiative includes a freely accessible handbook and computer-based rate model, which are state of the art in the water industry. With over 500 utility professionals trained in the rate model during this year — its first full year of existence — we are well on the way to making a difference in addressing this daunting challenge.
Likewise, our very successful Water Conservation Tracking Tool is helping us see the true economic consequences of water conservation. As with any long-term, controversial, capital-intensive endeavor, continued progress in societal-level water conservation requires good data. We have been and remain at the forefront of the information marketplace in the field.
