About this title

Synopsis

Courtesy of the Smithsonian: "During the past 5 years, the subject of municipal water conservation has received unprecedented attention from social scientists for two reasons. One was the Carter administration's selection of conservation as a key water policy issue, with a consequent earmarking of research funds to it. The other was the California drought of 1976-1977, which provided something to study. This book is a report of the findings of an ambitious research effort to learn from the use of conservation policies employed during the California drought."
