Can anyone provide me with a concise definition of what a comprehensive
water conservation policy might state?

I would also like to see findings of water audits or any documents describing
water conservation success stories.

Some people I'm involved with are desparately trying to jolt our
water commission staff and board into recognizing that conservation
measures just might be an alternative to infrastructure expansion.  They
have just decided to raise the dam of Victoria's main resevoir by 5 meters
at a cost of Cdn$16M, primarily to get us over a "hump" of several weeks
in the summer when lawn watering demands are horrendous.  They claim
Victorians simply don't want to forego the *City of Gardens* image.

A consortia of environmental groups and concerned citizens are organizing
a water conservation forum in September, in an attempt to draw attention
to alternatives.  Any help with material or ideas for this would be greatly
appreciated.
