3.2.2 City of Walla Walla Total Water Production and Share Lost to Leakage
Why is this important?
Water is an essential resource for people, the environment, and the economy. In order to analyze water use and come up with goals for use that meet the needs of both people and the environment, community leaders need to know how much is used each year.
Water use varies throughout the year. Summer months contribute to peak demand for irrigation and lawn watering. The amount consumed for these activities varies with rainfall during these months, defined here as May through September.
