- Summary:
- An oasis in the heart of the Mojave Desert, Las Vegas, Nevada has developed cutting edge programs for water conservation with universal significance. In a world where water is the new gold, one city has everything watched, measured and checked. Leaks are acoustically detected with the 6500 miles of pipes and repaired. Indoor water is reclaimed, cleansed and returned to the source. Xeriscaping reduces outdoor water use. Desert communities worldwide are seeking water conservation strategies in the face of rapidly escalating populations. Patricia Mulroy, the former general manager of the Southern Water Authority, describes the innovative, solution-oriented practices embraced by Las Vegas in one sentence, "If you can do it here, you can do it anywhere."
