一个比综合资源规划更新的概念是水资源总量 管理（TWM），基于对水资源的管理 为了社会和环境的最大利益。总水量的标志 管理层认为，可再生但有限的水资源供应应该以可持续的方式进行管理 可持续利用基础。本文概述的全面水资源管理方法 接受社会和环境需求与使用之间平衡的概念 在可持续的基础上增加供水。全面水管理产生更好的长期效益- 长期决策，因为它考虑了所有与水有关的资源和可能的因果关系 长期关系。该过程可用于水资源规划 开发和保护、相关流域资源管理、水电- 电的 以及替代能源资源管理，以及水和水的跨流域转移 能源供应。根据社区总体规划和 考虑人口趋势、土地利用、交通走廊、开放空间和其他 社区需求将创建一个可持续的社区计划。 本文概述了制定该计划的步骤，该计划整合了未来的愿景 社区，包括对整个水循环的深入观察，包括地表水， 地下水、雨水、废水和循环水。论文还 描述社区参与过程和审查进度。 包括6个参考文献、表格、图表。

A concept more recent than Integrated Resource Planning is that of Total Water Management (TWM), which is based on the exercise of stewardship of water resources for the greatest good of society and the environment. A hallmark of Total Water Management is that renewable, but limited, water supplies should be managed on a sustainable use basis. The Total Water Management approach outlined in this paper embraces the concepts of the balance between societal and environmental needs and use of water supplies on a sustainable basis. Total Water Management yields better long- term decisions because it considers all water-related resources and probable cause-effect relationships over the long-term. The process can be used for planning water resources development and conservation, related watershed resources management, hydro-electric and alternative energy resource management, and inter-basin transfers of both water and energy supplies. Developing the plan in concert with the community's general plan and considering population trends, land use, transportation corridors, open space and other community needs will create a sustainable community plan. This paper outlines the steps in developing the plan, which integrates a vision for the community, involves an in-depth look at the whole water cycle including surface water, groundwater, stormwater, wastewater, and recycled water. The paper also describes the community involvement process and review progress. Includes 6 references, tables, figures.
