efficiency measures
2. Improved water management practices that reduce or enhance the beneficial use of water. A
water conservation measure is an action, behavioral change, device, technology, or improved
design or process implemented to reduce water loss, waste, or use. Water efficiency is a
tool of water conservation. That results in more efficient water use and thus reduces water
demand. The value and cost-effectiveness of a water efficiency measure must be evaluated in
relation to its effects on the use and cost of other natural resources
3. Any beneficial deduction in water loss, use, or waste
