In this column, Jack Hoffbuhr, Executive Director of American Water Works Association, discusses how to make the best use of existing water resources on this planet. He points out that current methods of managing water worldwide are not sufficient, that current irrigation practices need to be examined and improved, and that the value of water is directly related to its effective use and that pricing structures need to provide incentive for efficient use of water.
