In response to the need for comprehensive and comparative evaluation of demand management strategies, the Water Conservation Alliance of Southern Arizona (CASA) has embarked on a major research initiative that will include: a survey of conservation programs/strategies currently underway, or implemented within the past ten years; gathering water use data for several examples (up to 6) of a broad spectrum of conservation programs developed from the survey above; determining the actual water saved by each measure (as opposed to anticipated or predicted savings) for each distinct case; a comparison of water savings data from all case study samples for each measure; establishing actual costs (both public and private) for each case study within all programs or measures being compared; a quantification of any benefits for each measure separate from the actual water savings (e.g. customer service, environmental sustainability); and, a determination of the amount of money actually expended per acre-foot of water saved, Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA), for each program or measure in each individual case studied as well as a determination of the net monetary benefits of the program, Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). The findings of this study will be presented as a resource document for everyone in Arizona and throughout the Southwest who is involved in decision-making regarding water resource management. Water CASA wants water management professionals to be able to easily use the study results to make the most informed decisions possible with regards to a particular measure's effectiveness, costs and benefits. Completion of this project requires in-depth research of current conservation measures, collection of actual water use data, collection of both monetary and non-monetary costs and benefits associated with conservation programs, quantitative comparison of conservation programs, and discussion of nonquantifiable facets of the programs. The first phase of the project involves structuring of data storage methods, which includes determining what types of costs and benefits to include in the analysis, what background information is needed from water providers, and how all the data is kept and manipulated. To identify appropriate data to be included in the database, this phase of the project will involve research of water conservation indicators, literature reviews of current strategies, and communications with various water providers and municipalities. The second phase of the project will include compiling data for analysis and performing the analyses for each program. This will start with researching past and current conservation programs from throughout the nation, which will be stored in a Microsoft Access database. It will also include surveying water providers to obtain primary data on implemented conservation programs. Excel 2002 will be used to input, store, and display the data, and to perform calculations. The actual amount of water saved, that will be attributed to the conservation measure in question, will be determined by using both pre-measure and post-measure water use data, and participator and control group water use data. Mean water use will be calculated for both groups pre-measure and postmeasure. The water savings is the difference in the percent increase (or decrease) of average control group and participant water use from pre-measure to post-measure. Includes table.
