If water becomes severely restricted, how should priorities be set to save landscape plants?
Answers
DROUGHT AND UTILITIES
Many states have experienced prolonged
periods of abnormally dry or unusually hot
weather that threaten the availability of
water. This trend is projected to continue.
Unlike other hazards, such as flooding and
earthquakes, droughts develop gradually
over months or years — and it may take an
affected community or water utility just as
long, if not longer, to recover.
Droughts can result in significant economic,
social, environmental and water utility
operational impacts, including:
• Loss of water supply.
• Poor source water quality that may
affect treatment and the ability to
meet drinking water standards.
• Stressed alternative and supplementary
water sources due to high demand by
other drought-affected users.
• Increased demand from customers.
• Increased costs and reduced revenues
related to drought response.
