1. Impacts of Municipal Conservation and Reuse Strategies in Region C Dan Hardin Director, Water Resource Planning Texas Water Development Board

2. Senate Bill 3 “The Study Commission shall:” (3) determine whether water demand in the Region C Regional Water Planning Area may be reduced through additional conservation and reuse measures so as to postpone the need for additional water supplies

5. By 2030, Region C expects to meet 33% of its municipal demand through conservation and reuse strategies.

6. Gallons per capita per day Measure of municipal water use, defined as the average daily total of residential plus commercial plus institutional water use, divided by total resident population.

7. Influences on Gallons per capita per day All other things equal, GPCD will be higher in regions/cities where the daytime population is augmented by commuters who live in a different region/city. All other things equal, GPCD will be higher in regions/cities where the daytime population is augmented by commuters who live in a different region/city. –Dallas adds 290,000 net commuters on a daily basis (23% of the population), San Antonio adds less than 50,000 (3.8% of the population) –In the western counties of Region D (Delta, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Rains, Van Zandt, Wood), 22% of the total workforce commuted to a job in Region C (2006 data).

12. Is More Conservation Enough? Would additional conservation by Region C be sufficient to eliminate all municipal needs? Would additional conservation by Region C be sufficient to eliminate all municipal needs? Needs – Projected water demands in excess of existing supplies that would be physically and legally available during a repeat of the drought of record.
