Water Control

We need to control quality, use and flow of water. This involves:

• Preventing pollution, safe-guarding supplies.
  
• Choice of water - whether to use potable or grey water.
  
• Conserving water, by reducing leaks and wastage.
  
• Managing flow, to develop equity in supplies.
  

Environmental Conservation measures can help to secure supplies of water. More trees and better use of plants help to prevent flash flooding, caused by the increased use of tarmac/concrete preventing excess water being absorbed.

Examples of better water control include using "Grey Water", Porous Cities, and Less bottled water.
