| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the strain to "meet increasing demands for treated potable water." Reports that the "U.S [United States] Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that residential landscape irrigation accounts for between 30% and 70% of potable water use during these periods." States that "because the EPA (and local water purveyors) are convinced that as much as half of this water is wasted, agencies and other rule-makers look first to the Green Industry for relief when public water supplies are tight." Notes that "government agencies, water purveyors, irrigation manufacturers, retailers and the many segments of the Green Industry are coming together. Sensing the seriousness of the water situation, they're beginning to cooperate and make consensus-based decisions regarding intelligent water use." Highlights a program, WaterSense, that has a goal to "increase the adoption of water-effiecient products and services by consumers and organizations." Lists "criteria for water-efficient, high-performance products." States that "the WaterSense program...has made big strides in labeling indoor water-saving products such as high-efficiency toilets and faucets." |
