Number: 1978-11
WHEREAS, numerous studies have shown most agricultural, industrial and municipal water uses to be inefficient and wasteful; and
WHEREAS, techniques are available to improve the efficiency of these uses of water, reduce the need for expensive storage structures, and ensure the perpetuation of fish and wildlife resources; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the National Wildlife Federation in annual meeting March 16-19, 1978, in Phoenix, Ariz., hereby supports the timely implementation by all levels of government of water conservation techniques such as the application of best available technology and best management practices for agricultural uses, the institution of marginal pricing schemes, and, as far as is possible, water metering for municipal uses, and wastewater recycling for industrial uses.
