WATER SUPPLY HANDBOOK: A Handbook on Water Supply Planning and Resource Management.
Abstract
The field of water resources covers a wide range of topics and subject matter. This handbook focuses on one of those, the issue of water supply planning and resource management. Subject matter centers on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects and authorities, but is equally valid for use by others interested in this topic. The document is intended to serve as a comprehensive desk top reference on water supply topics that are spread throughout a voluminous body of Corps regulations, manuals, technical letters and memoranda, and also literature from the private sector. Information in this handbook is intended for easy access and reference purposes only, and is not intended as a substitute for Headquarters U.S. Army Corps of Engineers policy or implementation guidance. It is envisioned that the handbook will be kept current through the Internet. Changes will be made as laws of the land and policies of the Administration change. The various E-mail addresses and models contained throughout the report can also be kept current through this process. This handbook contains nine chapters and eight supporting appendices. After an introductory chapter, topics include policies, procedures, and legislation pertaining to storage of water supplies in new and existing Corps reservoir projects; several water supply databases; a separate chapter on reallocation; a water supply partnership kit suitable for reproduction and submittal to those who may be interested in obtaining water supplies from Corps reservoirs; and then four chapters that focus on how supplies of water are managed through modeling, conservation, forecasting and water control systems.
