"This paper presents an in-depth review of water demand management with emphasis on Canadian applications. Water demand management is defined as any socially beneficial measure that reduces or reschedules average or peak withdrawals from surface or ground-water sources while maintaining or mitigating the extent to which return flows are degraded. The demand management approach differs from traditional supply-oriented approaches in placing its emphasis on social and economic policies to influence the uses to which water is put. This approach should be viewed as complementing, not replacing, supply management. Economic concepts, such as effective water pricing and charges based on waste effluent characteristics, are viewed as central to introducing demand management as one of the fundamental approaches to water management in Canada"--Abstract.
