	Water Technology - Water Supply Image Gallery
		The water supply project is a country-wide scheme, involving all of Malawi's regional water boards.
		Water drawn from the Ocmulgee River is pumped to Javors J. Lucas Lake - the Town Creek Reservoir - to feed the adjacent Amerson WTP.
		A new 114,000m³ raw water reservoir was constructed as part of the project to mix the inflow from the city's various water sources to provide consumers with a consistent taste.

	CNRFC - Information - Seasonal Water Supply Forecasting
		Water supply forecasts predate flood forecasting efforts in most parts of the Western U.S. These forecasts are extremely important to water managers interested in providing water for agricultural, municipal, environmental, and commercial purposes.
		Water supply forecasts are generated and published by the CNRFC on a monthly basis, January through May. In some years, a June forecast is provided.
		Water supply forecasts are placed on the CNRFC Home Page as well as printed and mailed out to non-online customers.

	Water Supply Planning History
		In 2000, KRS 151:601 directed that county or planning-area water management councils be established to supersede earlier water supply planning councils.
		Water management areas define those regions where water and wastewater treatment service may be most effectively addressed through coordinated development, such as shared resources, consolidation of facilities and mergers.
		Water management plans developed by area councils were designed to be consistent with the existing approved county water supply plans.

		The project is intended to provide an adequate water supply to meet the ongoing demands of a growing population and increasing urbanisation, while also improving the reliability, efficiency and coverage of existing schemes in the process.
		In recent years, water borne infections had risen to rank alongside malaria and HIV/AIDS as leading causes of death in the country, leading to the Government undertaking an initial water services review in 1993, which was funded by the African Development Bank.
		Water delivery and distribution is performed by the three respective regional water boards, with local operation and administration being run by water point committees on a day to day basis.

	Water supply - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As late as the 1960's, the water supply pipes buried through town were made of wood, which is the source of the name "Trunk Main" used when describing larger bulk-water transfer mains, due to the large timber industry and ready availability of wood as a construction material.
		Pressure in an urban water system is typically maintained either by a pressurized water tank serving an urban area, by pumping the water up into a tower and relying on gravity to maintain a constant pressure in the system or solely by pumps at the water treatment plant and repeater pumping stations.
		An adequate supply of conveniently supplied water is needed for basic hygiene.

	LCRA: Water: Managing Water Supply
		LCRA uses the lakes and river as a system to conserve and convey water supplies according to a plan developed by water supply experts and approved by the state of Texas.
		Following this water management plan makes it possible to supply drinking water for about 650,000 people, as well as water for industry, energy, and recreation; for irrigating rice and other crops; and for preserving a healthy ecosystem along the lower river and in Matagorda Bay.
		Water is released from the lakes when springs and tributaries that feed into the lower river do not provide enough to meet downstream needs, including the need for fresh water in Matagorda Bay on the Gulf Coast.

	State Water Project - Supply (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Of this total supply, about 50-60 percent either is used by native vegetation, evaporates to the atmosphere, provides some of the water for agricultural crops and managed wetlands (effective precipitation); or flows to Oregon, Nevada, the Pacific Ocean, and salt sinks like saline groundwater aquifers and the Salton Sea.
		The remaining 40-50 percent, or dedicated supply, is distributed among urban and agricultural uses, water for protecting and restoring the environment, or storage in surface and groundwater reservoirs for later use.
		Ultimately, about a third of the dedicated supply flows out to the Pacific Ocean, in part to meet environmental requirements, or to other salt sinks.For wet and dry years, the total supply and the distribution of the dedicated supply to various uses differ significantly from the example above for an average year.

	USAID Environment: Water
		Water shortages and poor water management can lead to loss of biodiversity and agricultural production, increase in malnutrition and disease, reduced economic growth, social instability, and conflict.
		Water resources are not distributed uniformly across the globe — nor are they necessarily located where the largest concentrations of people reside.
		Demand for water outstrips supply in a growing number of countries, and the quality of that supply is rapidly declining.

	Background - Droughts in California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hydrologic conditions constituting a drought for water users in one location may not constitute a drought for water users elsewhere, or for water users having a different water supply.
		Individual water suppliers may use criteria such as rainfall/runoff, amount of water in storage, or expected supply from a water wholesaler to define their water supply conditions.
		Drought impacts increase with the length of a drought, as carry-over supplies in reservoirs are depleted and water levels in groundwater basins decline.

	Water supply network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Water purification usually occurs close to the final delivery points to reduce the chances of the water becoming contaminated after treatment.
		That energy is transferred to the water, therefore becoming water pressure, in a number of ways: by a pump, by gravity feed from a water source (such as a reservoir or a water tower) at a higher elevation, or, in smaller systems, by compressed air.
		Water supply networks are part of the master planning of communities, counties, and municipalities.

	Water Supply Protection
		water resources in two major ways: (1) the addition of salts from water use and (2) the consumption (depletion) of water.
		The threat of salinity is a major concern in both the United States and Mexico; affecting agricultural (reduced crop yields and increased water demands), municipal (decreased useful life of household plumbing and water utility equipment, increased costs to treat and recycle water), and industrial water users (decreased useful life of equipment).
		The enactment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 was interpreted by EPA to require numerical standards for salinity in the Colorado River.
