Alright, Mayor (fill in your name here), you've got a water crisis in your city. You're running out of water! Your growing population and new industries demand more water, which you don't happen to have. You're the mayor -- you're in charge. How will you solve the problem, since you want to do what's best for your community (and get re-elected)?

There's only two things you can do, increase the supply of water and/or decrease the demand for water. By using the form below, give us your opinions on what measures you'd use to tackle the problem (which is a real situation happening at many places in the world every day).Maybe get a class discussion going about why you think some measures would work and some wouldn't. The discussion will get more complicated than you think!
