The issue of freshwater availability and sustainability within U.S. federal and state governments. For example, a recent report by the U.S. National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) urges the federal government to take new steps to understand freshwater sustainability in the United States [NSTC, 2004]. Although the report refers to ‘availability’—a concept that in the past has applied only to human needs and that implies that a resource may decline or be liquidated—the focus of the report is on ‘sustainability’ as commonly defined in the literature today. Sustainability requires that consumption will not cause a decline or liquidation of freshwater resources.
