San Diego County Water Authority

The San Diego County Water Authority works closely with its member agencies to implement water conservation programs, including the installation of hundreds of thousands of water-saving devices and regional outreach tools. With the active cooperation of the public and businesses, the region’s water-providers are instilling a water conservation ethic in San Diego County. Since 1991, over 656,000 acre feet (AF) of water has been conserved through the region’s conservation programs, including 65,000 AF in 2010. Demand management, or water conservation, is an important part of the Water Authority’s water supply portfolio and its diversification efforts for the San Diego region to help ensure a reliable future water supply.
