Abstract
Abstract More responsibilities for planning water resources are being placed on local planners at a time when demand for water services is uncertain and financial conditions are pressing. Planners will need to scrutinize and refine conventional criteria for evaluating proposed expansions in the capacity of water and wastewater systems. They will have to counterbalance traditional engineering approaches to planning, which emphasize economy of scale, by paying more attention to finance rates and demand forecasting. And they will need to consider rehabilitating water and wastewater systems—as both a supplement and an alternative to expanding them—in making decisions about local infrastructure.
