Answer 1

1. You don't need a web sites to answer this question....It would have to do with personal and consumer water saving techniques and mandates. i.e. low flow toilets, water saving shower heads and appliances. Regulation would be; increasing/actual market cost of water use, outlawing green lawns, and general water wasting should be discouraged.
2. Irrigated farmland is going to be our number one concern, because of depleted or diminished aquifers; So lined and covered ditches for transporting water to fields so as to minimize evaporation and peculation. Also drip irrigation for sprinkler systems will have to be installed (pay back is less than 5 years).
3. Water is essential to all life and biodiversity makes for healthy ecosystem services.
4. Rivers are no longer reaching their prior destinations and water is becoming more salinated and polluted, so if you were on the receiving end of that you'd be pissed off too.
5. Climate change is going to be an ever growing concern when it comes to water issues. For the individual, rain storage systems are very viable.
