Many parts of the world are suffering from drier conditions, with water becoming scarce and more precious. There are challenges ahead without question, but there is evidence that these challenges can be met. For instance, did you know that Los Angeles, which has added more than one million people in the past 30 years, uses the same amount of water today as it did in 1979? In Phoenix, the city uses less water today than it did a decade ago and, even better, less water per person than two decades ago.
This has been accomplished in a variety of ways, such as more efficient water-delivery and storage systems. But most importantly, it has been done through effective water-conservation practices. And if large cities can do that, golf courses, park and recreation centers, and other facilities can do it as well--and fortunately, many have.
