The Integrated Water Resources Hierarchy involves:
Reduce per capita consumption through a variety of water conservation and efficiency measures
Reuse and Recycle water that can be used where the water quality does not have to be of drinking water standards
Reclaim brackish water for consumptive uses
Restore water resources by preserving or introducing the natural features of the watershed that capture, clean, and store runoff, to protect water supplies and mitigate flooding and non-point source runoff
Recharge groundwater through low impact development and other measures such as constructed/enhanced wetlands that promote infiltration in watersheds
