This article discusses several measures of intense development of water resources that show the most promise for ensuring an ample water supply, including: building impounding reservoirs in humid areas of the country where flood flows are wasted; increased use of groundwater; water reuse; treatment of brackish waters or highly mineralized groundwater; developments in large‐diameter transmission mains; changes in water treatment techniques; and, developments in automation in the regulation of distribution systems and booster pumps, and in the adjustment of treatment to parallel automatically‐monitored raw water quality.
