<br />~ j <br /> <br />'I <br /> <br />HOW WE WILL KNOW WE HAVE SUCCEEDED <br /> <br />Monitorina and Evaluation <br /> <br />Implementing these conservation strategies is, by itself, not <br /> <br />enough. Because water saved through these programs has become an <br /> <br />important component of future water supply planning, Clifton Water <br /> <br />J <br /> <br />District needs to know how well these strategies are working, when <br /> <br />they should be initiated, intensified or phased out, how they affect <br /> <br />customer's lifestyles or businesses, how they affect the human and <br /> <br />natural environment, whether they give rise to unforeseen problems, <br /> <br /> <br />conflicts or legal issues, .and whether they are worth their costs. <br /> <br />Monitoring and evaluating the water efficiency gains of diverse <br /> <br /> <br />customer groups using many conservation strategies is a complex <br /> <br />challenge requiring a great deal of information. To be done well, it <br /> <br />demands that Clifton Water District prepare for it in advance and stay <br /> <br />ahead of the information flow. To accomplish this, Clifton Water <br /> <br />District will undertake an ongoing monitoring and evaluation program <br /> <br />to: <br /> <br />. Review what each program is expected to contribute to water <br />conservation, that is, its specific goal. <br /> <br />. Design the methods which will be used to measure and <br />evaluate its progress toward that goal and its costs. <br /> <br />! .
