Wisconsin water conservation: Effectiveness of additional conservation efforts beyond regulatory requirements : a report submitted to the faculty of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering / by Eric J. Fulsaas. by Fulsaas, Eric J., author., Gonwa, Dr. William,, Nelson, Douglas, Shimek, Gary, Milwaukee School of Engineering [Milwaukee School of Engineering], [2017] Subjects Water conservation -- Wisconsin -- Management   Water use -- Wisconsin -- Measurement   Water conservation -- Law and legislation -- Wisconsin   MSCVE Project. Description:  84 leaves : illustrations, some of which are in color ; 29 cm Contents:  Background -- Methods -- Results and discussion -- Conclusion and recommendations -- Appendix A: Conservation group data -- B: Control group data The purpose of this paper is to answer the following two-part question: For Wisconsin communities, how does the residential per customer water usage vary between communities with code-required conservation practices and those with additional practices? How can the difference, if any, be applied to public policy? In addition, the paper is intended to provide recommendations for further research on this topic. The methods employed to answer the research question were a literature review to gather background information and a statistical analysis of publicly available data on water usage. Researchers have published numerous case studies in which they have analyzed and judged the effect of conservation efforts in single cities; the varied results indicate that conservation efforts make a significant difference. Conversely, the Wisconsin statistical analysis discussed in this paper shows different results. On average, Wisconsin cities with additional conservation efforts exhibit similar water consumption statistics as cities solely meeting code. This paper recommends further research opportunities, in order to correlate changes in water consumption to the promulgation of federal or Wisconsin laws or statutes that impact residential water use. Keywords: water conservation, Wisconsin Public Service Commission [PSC], per capita water usage, American Water Works Association [AWWA], statistical analysis.
