Water resources: quantity and flows — key message 5

SOER 2010 Message (Deprecated) Published 28 Nov 2010

Topics: Water and marine environment Policy instruments Sustainability transitions

Demand measures could include the use of economic instruments; water loss controls; water-reuse and recycling; increased efficiency of domestic, agricultural and industrial water use; and water-saving campaigns supported by public education programmes.
