An integrated resource demand management program will allow accurate planning, controlled implementation, and gradual transition to water conservation, so to avoid shocks of decreasing water use in the face of static cost of service. Technology can facilitate the implementation of a holistic water resources-demand management approach by streamlining operational efficiency and costs and by providing a tool to handle the information gathering, storage and manipulation that a demand management program requires. Building such integrated information systems is time consuming and should be done on an incremental basis. The most prudent approach is to concentrate on the essential layers or categories of information needed, and then implement automation strategically, concentrating on projects with short payback periods. Bridges can later be built among the "islands of automation." Essential layers, or categories of information, of an integrated management system, and ways in which they can be used, are summarized. They include: (1) equipment and instrumentation, (2) computer-based operations control, (3) graphical user interfaces, which presents information on the computer screen in pictures, charts, or other graphics; (4) communications systems for in the office and for far-flung locations; and database management. Suggested uses for technology in resource management, production, treatment, distribution, and consumption.
