Episode Synopsis

Send us a textRick Maloy, Water Conservation Manager for Central Utah Water Conservancy District, provides a fascinating deep dive into how States calculate their per capita water use. Spoiler – it is complicated. Rick talks about the three different methodologies, Total Demand, Water Use Reporting, and Consumptive Use Calculations, as well as the various other conditions that make it difficult to get to an apples to apples comparison. Great discussion for debunking some of the water use myths about Utah and setting the stage for a much more nuanced discussion.
