Eurobodalla Integrated Water Cycle Management Strategy
8.1.10 Comprehensive demand management program
The opportunities for managing the regional water demand have been assessed on a TBL
basis. The opportunities which give the best outcomes on a triple bottom line basis have
been bundled together to form the comprehensive demand management program. The
elements of this program are:
Planing control by means of a DCP covering water sensitive urban design and
water efficiency for all new developments and extensions
Best practice water pricing
Unaccounted for water assessment and loss reduction program
An education program explaining the labelling of water efficient devices
An active showerhead retrofit
A water conservation education program targeting outdoor and non-residential
water use
The potential water saving of the comprehensive demand management program,
compared to the baseline case is shown in Figure 8-1.
