Water Supply and Sanitation 663 million people - 1 in 10 - lack access to safe water. 1,2 2.4 billion people - 1 in 3 - lack access to a toilet. 1,2 The water crisis is the #1 global risk based on impact to society (as a measure of devastation), as announced by the World Economic Forum in January 2015. 3 1.

20. Access to Sanitation Summary of the World Water Crisis and USG Investments in the Water Sector, USAID, 2010 2009: more than 2 billion people lacked access to basic sanitation facilities

22. Domestic Water Use Survival = 5 L/day Drinking, cooking, bathing, and sanitation = 50 L United States = 250 to 300 L Netherlands = 104 L Somalia = 9 L * L/c/d = liters per person per day

23. Water Stress Index Based on human consumption –linked to population growth Domestic requirement: –About 100 L/c/d = 40 m 3 /c/yr Agricultural, industrial & energy need: –About 20 x 40 m 3 /c/yr = 800 m 3 /c/yr Total need: –840 m 3 /c/yr –About 1000 m 3 /c/yr

24. Water Stress Index Water availability below 1,000 m 3 /c/yr –chronic water related problems impeding development and harming human health Water sufficiency: >1700 m 3 /c/yr Water stress: <1700 m 3 /c/yr Water scarcity: <1000 m 3 /c/yr Prof. Malin Falkenmark

25. Water Scarcity (2008) Summary of the World Water Crisis and USG Investments in the Water Sector, USAID, 2010 In 2008, over 1.54 billion people suffered from water stress

26. Water Scarcity (2030) Summary of the World Water Crisis and USG Investments in the Water Sector, USAID, 2010 By 2030, 3.3 billion people will live “water stress” conditions

35. Texas Regional Water Planning State Water Plan provides for development, management, and conservation of water resources and preparation for and response to drought conditions, in order that sufficient water will be available at a reasonable cost to ensure public health, safety, and welfare; further economic development; and protect the agricultural and natural resources of the entire state Steps: –Describe the regional water planning area. –Quantify current and projected population and water demand –Evaluate and quantify current water supplies –Identify surpluses and needs –Evaluate water management strategies and prepare plans to meet the needs –Recommend regulatory, administrative, and legislative changes; and –Adopt the plan, including the required level of public participation. http://www.twdb.state.tx.us/publications/reports/State_Water_Plan/2007/2007StateWaterPlan/2007StateWaterPlan.htm

38. Texas Senate Bill 1 (1997) SB-1 Directed TCEQ to develop Water Availability Models (WAM) Water Availability Models –Determine how much water is available to meet existing or permit new water rights Assess availability and reliability (volume and time) based on simulating river management and water allocation using historic, naturalized flows, prior appropriation water rights, and institutional policies of water allocation and reservoir storage –Provide consistent set of planning tools and data sets for water planning in all 23 Tx basins Regional planning and processing of new water permits Simulation model: WRAP, data sets developed in ArcHydro http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/permitting/water_supply/water_rights/wam.html

39. Texas Water Use Permits Any change in water use requires new assessment 22 River Basins - Permits approved if –Unappropriated water is available, –A beneficial use is established –Water conservation will be practiced –Existing water rights are not impaired, and –Water use is not detrimental to public welfare. 23 rd Basin - Rio Grande –Over appropriated for many years –No new rights for additional water use being granted –Rights are commonly transferred between users
