While researchers should continue their efforts to predict the impacts of climatic change on water supply, water planning with a special emphasis on efficiency should begin now. This will prove to be particularly valuable if climate turns out to limit water supplies, but, as mentioned above, it is worth doing anyway.

The first steps toward building the required public consensus are to help the public recognize who will benefit-and in what ways from using existing water supplies more efficiently and to get the comprehensive planning process under way. Numerous studies have shown that efficiency programs can meet a community's water needs better and more cheaply than traditional supply programs.

Future generations will be thankful for wise water decisions made today. Thus, the whole community will be brought together to cooperate in building a long-term comprehensive water use plan.
