Developing Water Soft Paths in Canadian Municipalities: A Guidebook for Municipal Staff

A practical introduction to water soft path (WSP) implementation, the guidebook describes the steps in water soft path planning for municipalities, illustrated with a case study. This guidebook is the key resource for workshops with municipal planners interested in exploring what WSP offers for municipalities that want and need to go beyond efficiency and demand management. WSP is an exciting concept that helps groups look into the future and design a pathway to reach that desirable future by looking at water in a holistic way. WSP promotes matching water quality with water use, finding creative ways to conserve water and by asking why is water needed for a particular use, leads to opportunities for innovation, education and awareness building about the importance of water quality and quantity.

Information That Municipalities Should Bring to Water Soft Path.
