Environment.

How much water will keep salmon swimming in the Columbia River? How many gallons make up a breath­taking river rapid? More and more states are recognizing the environ­mental and recreational uses of water. Especially in the West, laws now establish minimum stream flows to protect fish and wildlife habitat and meet the needs of swimmers, boaters, and other water enthusiasts.

Cost and Conservation.

In the U. S. we routinely waste water, and here's why: It still costs very little. But rising water prices since the early 1980s have spurred conservation efforts, and analysts say the trend is likely to continue. Across the country, utilities increasingly offer economic incentives for customers to save water. Because water resources and delivery systems differ vastly from region to region, so do pricing and conservation practices.
