Net Blue Presentation: Water Neutral Community Growth

*FREE FOR IMLA MEMBERS.

Net Blue is a collaborative initiative of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, the Environmental Law Institute, and River Network to support sustainable community growth. The project team members developed a model ordinance that communities can tailor and customize to create a water demand offset approach meeting local needs. The project team consulted with communities in different regions throughout the United States to help develop the model ordinance and the offset components, and to ensure that the program would be adaptable to many different political climates, legal frameworks, and environmental challenges.

This ordinance and the accompanying offset calculator can help manage scarce water resources and provide sustainability. Users will want to start with this interactive link to the ordinance which allows them to put in specific details about their community. A general fact sheet and FAQ can be found here as well as a recording of a webinar by the Alliance for Water Efficiency that walks through the background and available tools.

Speakers: Mary Ann Dickinson, Bill Christiansen & Adam Schempp
