ting on water use to to sta state te a and loc local a l age gencie ies is b is burd urdenso some me, often requiring up to 10 reports each year and excessive staff time to complete. – Duplicative – Ever-expanding » TWDB has developed new annual report

2. TWDB is soon going to be syncing the State Water Plan conservation goals with utility goals
3. Utilities are increasingly being asked to quantify their conservation activities
4. Various stakeholders often asking for more water to be conserved

– Hard to show work with only top-down approach – Bottom-up takes a lot of staff time

5. Communicating with other staff to gather data isn’t always easy

SLIDE 3

For Utilities, Goldwater:

 Submit state reports automatically each year based on compatibility with utility software.

Internal reporting for utility staff
External reporting to state and local agencies

 Dynamic water plan and individual goal assessment  Annual planning with state considerations in view  Recognition for hard work  Tool to present to city council, utility boards, et al.  Recommendation engine helps find optimal conservation activities to achieve goals  Communication hub allows direct feedback to utility and WWP staff

SLIDE 4

Quantify savings from water conservation investments

SLIDE 5

Future Versions

Current analytics are yearly but will be able to toggle from Annual, Monthly,

Additional features to help and serve conservation staff
