A Water Supply Crisis or a Water Management Crisis?
This article discusses the distinction between lack of water supply and inefficient water management. It states that it is all too often assumed that there is not adequate water supply because shortages develop under status quo water management strategies, when new approaches could result in a more efficient allocation of water resources. The article provides an example of questionably sustainable water supply practices currently in use that will require significant management improvements in the future to remain sustainable. The article lists considerations that share a common basis in institutional legal policies for water resource allocation, and discusses the fact that effective and efficient water management should combine public interest regulation with clearly defined rights to use water resources.
