Briefing slides from September 22, 2015. ACF NIDIS RDEWS.
NIDIS requires evaluation of its pilots in order to determine whether efforts should move from the prototype stage to fully-fledged regional drought early warning information systems (DEWS). The results of evaluation directly inform that process and future improvements in NIDIS.
The Georgia Water Conservation Implementation Plan (WCIP) provides guidance to help Georgia’s seven major water use sectors effectively implement water conservation statewide. The major water use sectors include: agricultural irrigation; electric generation; golf courses; industrial and commercial; landscape irrigation; domestic and non-industrial public uses; and state agencies. Each sector-specific chapter of the WCIP details water conservation goals, benchmarks, best practices, and implementation actions designed to reduce water waste, water loss, and where necessary, water use.
