Fargo-Moorhead Urban Study. Water Conservation Appendix.

Abstract

The Fargo-Moorhead Urban Study is a cooperative Federal, State and local planning effort aimed at developing viable solutions to water and related land resource problems, needs and concerns for 1980-2030. The summary report contains a brief, non-technical overview. Readers desiring additional detailed information should review the appropriate technical appendixes. This study initially considerally all common methods of conservation. These water conservation measures were then evaluated and selected measures were incorporated into the most cost-effective water supply plan developed in phase 2. The benefits of water conservation were measured using the effect they have on the National Economic Development (NED). MED benefits include reductions in the costs associated with a particular water supply plan and savings in the energy bills of individual consumers. In addition, conservation preserves existing water resources and augments supplies for future municipal growth. Keywords: Urban Planning; Fargo(North Dakota), Moorhead(Minnesota), and Water Conservation.
