<br />RESEARCH <br /> <br />o Research areas of greatest inefficiency and identify potential for savings. <br />o Use published research data when possible. <br />o Monitor progress of relevant current research prior to publication of results. <br />o Sponsor research which directly benefits Green Mountain conservation programs. <br />o Support the Arrerican Water Works Association in continually identifying <br />conservation measures. <br /> <br />HOVVVIE V\IILl. KNOW VIE SUCCEEDED <br /> <br />Monitoring and Evaluation <br /> <br />Identifying these conservation strategies is, by itself, not enough. Water saved <br />through these programs will be an important component of future water supply planning. <br />The district will continually monitor how \Nell these strategies are \I\IOrking. Wlen they <br />should be initiated, intensified or phased out; how they affect customer's lifestyles or <br />business; how they affect the human and natural environment; whether they give rise to <br />unforeseen problems; conflicts or legal issues, and whether they are \I\IOrth their costs. <br /> <br />Monitoring and evaluating the water efficiency gains of diverse customer groups <br />using many conservation strategies is a complex challenge requiring a great deal of time. <br /> <br />o Design functional data bases and gather information in a timely manner. <br />o Review what each program is expected to contribute to water conservation and its <br />specific goals, including potential reduction of water unaccounted for. <br />o Design methods which will be used to measure and evaluate the progress toward <br />goals and costs. <br />o Define the information necessary for measuring success, the costs of each <br />program, and each program's overall contribution to conservation. <br /> <br />f' <br /> <br />10 <br />
