Conserve Florida Water was established to assist public water supply utilities in developing goal-based water conservation programs by providing information and tools to improve water conservation initiatives. This effort includes the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the five water management districts, the Florida Rural Water Association, and organizations representing public water supply utilities. In March 2006, Conserve Florida Water selected the University of Florida to house, manage, and expand the operation and functions of the water Conservation Clearinghouse. The mission of the Conserve Florida Water Clearinghouse is to develop collaborative relationships with related programs, and to collect, analyze, and make available reliable information and technical assistance to public water supply utilities and water managers for use in developing effective and efficient water conservation programs.
UF Water Institute facilitated the development of an applied research agenda to help public water supply utilities to 1) identify tools and approaches that increase efficiency of existing and projected water use, and 2) identify practices that utilities can implement that will show quantifiable results toward addressing water use efficiency and conservation. In addition, to identifying priorities, documents synthesizing the state of the art research and research gaps in a select priority areas were produced. |
