In order to P basic elements of this Plan, it is necessary to examine current water use practices, a uc the the public about water use reduction and /or efficient water usage patterns and ices, educate establish methodologies for achieving these goals. This Plan identifies several water conservation goals and explains those areas where potential water conservation can be achieved.
