Question

what is the meaning of integrated watershed management

Answer 1

integrated Watershed Management (IWM) is the process of managing human activities and natural resources on a watershed basis.

Answer 2

Reduced water and sewer costs: Low flow water conservation devices reduce water usage and costs as well as sewer costs.
Weather-based irrigation controls: This type of control system saves water usage and cost especially during the hot summer months.
Reduced energy usage: Low flow water devices reduce the amount of hot water used which, in turn, reduces the amount of energy used to heat the water.
Reduction of unbilled water: Replacing old, inaccurate water meters and distribution piping can result in increased revenues for the water district.
Wastewater treatment energy usage: Wastewater treatment plants are one of the largest users of energy within a city. Plant upgrades and aeration optimization can dramatically reduce energy usage and save money.
