Water supply diversification (comprehensive plans)

A potential topic for a community’s comprehensive plan, falling under the category of future projections and addressing anticipated gaps in water supply and demand. Are communities seeking redundant water supplies by examining the use of gray or non-potable water, groundwater recharge or banking, placing limits on groundwater drawdown, large-scale rain or stormwater capture, water leasing, water sharing, water transfers, or buying up water rights from agriculture and fallowing that land (buy and dry)?
