Strategies for Addressing Water Scarcity- OregonStrategies for Addressing Short-Term Scarcity:Municipal water providers have several options for acquiring or stretching water supplies in times of short-term scarcity. Respondents were given a list of 8 such options and asked to list the 3 best options. The Relative Preference (RP*) ranking for each option was then calculated. The results for Oregon are displayed in the graph below.
Strategies for Addressing Long-Term Scarcity:Long-term water development strategies are more capital and construction intensive, and require longer-term planning. Respondents were given a list of 8 such strategies and were again asked to list the 3 best options. The RP ranking for each option was then calculated. The results for Oregon are displayed in the graph below
