EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Effectively measuring water use is essential for water supply planning and water conservation efforts. Gallons Per Capita Per Day (GPCD) is a common metric for measuring water use, but under the surface there are some shortcomings that if not understood can lead to bad comparisons and even worse decisions. Find out some of the strengths and weaknesses of using GPCD and best practices on using it to compare multiple agencies.
Free lunch for attendees who RSVP for in-person attendance.
