A Study of Factors Related to the Implementation and Use of Water Conservation Technology in Mississippi

摘要

This project was purposed with determining the awareness, status, and current usage of domestic water conserving technology in selected areas of Mississippi. Home builders and municipal officials were surveyed to gather pertinent data. Almost all of the municipalities viewed their water supplies as adequate; none had mandated water conserving equipment requirements; most used the declining block rate structure and felt that rate manipulation would not produce significant savings. Attempts at mandated, state level water conservation via equipment regulations have not been successful.
