Join the University of Utah's Wallace Stegner Center for Measuring Water Use: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly on Thursday, February 16, 2023 from 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM MST.
Effectively measuring water use is essential for water supply planning and water conservation efforts. Gallons Per Capita Per Day (GPCD) is a common metric for measuring water use but under the surface there are some shortcomings that if not understood can lead to bad comparisons and even worse decisions.
