Abstract: This Summary and the Local Drought Management Planning Guide'' have been prepared to help public water supply managers assess their situation, develop drought management plans, identify and monitor drought conditions and its stages, and effectively manage system supply and demand during a drought or other emergency. These documents focus on developing drought management plans for public water supplies. Neither the Summary nor the Guide addresses detailed planning for developing water supplies. Responses requiring a considerable expenditure of money or a long time to implement are not covered. Where a system or source of water fails to meet the most essential demands, that supplier may choose to embark on a long-term program for improving the system's capacity through development of alternative supplies of water, overall demand reduction, leakage control, etc. 6 figs.
