Books: Total Water Management

Total Water Management: Practices for a Sustainable Future by: Neil S. Grigg, PhD, PE

A quiet revolution is being led by men and women who care about sustainable use of water resources, public health, and the environment. This revolution is directed toward new ways to manage and balance water resources and the needs of the environment. It is Total Water Management, or TWM. TWM is the exercise of stewardship and shared governance of water resources among utilities, business, and government for the greatest good of society and the environment.

Total Water Management: Practices for a Sustainable Future explains what TWM means in unambiguous language. It expands, explains, and illustrates TWM concepts and how to apply them. It is a useful, practical book on water planning for water resource managers, designed to help managers fairly allocate limited water resources among competing users, based on social values, cost-effectiveness, and needs of the natural water systems.
