Water conservation, maximizing the efficient use of water
resources, is rapidly becoming a critical part of many military
operations as more and more demands are placed upon existing
water supplies. In order to remain a good neighbor and preserve
the environment in which we live, engineers throughout the
Department of Defense are frequently called upon to review the
beneficial use of their water resources. This military handbook
provides numerous methods to increase water efficiency and
details the requirements of Executive Order 12902 as it relates
to water conservation within the Department of Defense. In
addition, this handbook also includes, in its appendices,
procedures for submitting water conservation projects for central
funding programs.
This handbook is designed to provide guidance to the installation
energy or facilities manager and project designers in the area of
water conservation. This handbook is intended to assist
installations in reducing their water consumption and thereby
assist in complying with the provisions of Executive Order 12902.
Recommendations for improvement are encouraged from within the
Navy, other government agencies, and the private sector and
should be furnished on the DD Form 1426 provided inside the back
cover to Commander, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Code
161B, 1510 Gilbert Street, Norfolk, VA 23511-2699, phone (757)
322-4625.
