This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, as having a semi-arid climate with a large lake, providing the illusion
that there is plenty of water. Rapid growth has caused spiraling peak demand. Seven steps to water sustainability are listed, along with landscape and irrigation design standards, and the goal of
building on the 20%
reduction in overall water
use achieved since
1998, with a further 15%
reduction by 2012.
