Denver transitioning towards urban water security
Denver's transition towards urban water security focuses on lowering total water consumed by its customers. This chapter presents an overview of a case study that analyses how Denver's water utility uses a portfolio of demand management tools to modify the attitudes and behaviour of water users to achieve urban water security. The drivers of Denver Water's strategic vision for achieving urban water security include climate change, economic demand, population growth and the political dimensions of transboundary water resources. Denver Water regularly polls customers on how they feel about water conservation, and they frequently respond that they conserve water because it is the right thing to do. An important aspect in the cultural shift in outdoor water use involves Denver Water working with landscape and irrigation‐control companies to ensure their customers, Denver Water's customers receive the right messages on water conservation, in particular the link between green grass and higher water bills.
