San Diego County Water Authority to Develop Water Conservation Website

The San Diego County Water Authority has selected Achieve Inc., a Southern California provider of Drupal solutions, to develop a new website focused on water conservation. WaterSmart will promote water-use efficiency and serve as a key resource for San Diego County residents.

The WaterSmart website will serve as an intuitive indoor and outdoor water-conservation resource for the public. The site’s planned content includes tips for conserving water indoors and outdoors, commercial and residential conservation programs, a water-use calculator tool, case studies, “how-to” guides and much more.

The new site also represents the Water Authority’s ongoing commitment to open-source, and the robust capabilities of Drupal as a web infrastructure and social publishing platform.

“The site will serve as a ‘go-to’ conservation resource for regional conservation-related information. The site will provide action-oriented information to empower visitors to develop and implement their own customized strategy for achieving water savings. We hope it will also inspire visitors to make sustainable long-term changes in water use by showcasing real-world examples of attractive water-saving landscapes and effective projects,” said Tenille Otero, the Water Authority’s website project manager. “Drupal is a proven platform that offers the capabilities we need to bring our message to our community. It’s low-cost of ownership also is a long-term fiscally responsible choice. We look forward to our collaboration with the Achieve Internet team.”
