The following is posted per Ed Glatfelter, Alliance for the Great Lakes:

The Alliance for the Great Lakes has released the attached report titled Great Lakes/St. Lawrence River Water Conservation Model Policies & Measures. The report aims to: influence Great Lakes/St. Lawrence state, provincial and utility water conservation policies; assist in evaluating Great Lakes/St. Lawrence state and provincial programs; and assist in evaluating water conservation programs of applicants for new or increased withdrawals, diversions and consumptive uses under the Great Lakes Compact and Agreement.

It is hoped that state, provincial and local officials will consider these provisions and incorporate into their programs all that are environmentally sound and economically feasible.
