Who Stole my Water?The Case for Water Loss Controland Annual Water Audits

摘要

In a water-scarce western town in the United States a cry is heard as a bank teller rushes out into the street. "We've been robbed! Call the sheriff!" Soon, the mayor and town officials gather around. "How much is missing?" the sheriff asks. "Well, we don't rightly know. We haven't really counted for three or four years," the teller states sheepishly. "But the vault's a lot more empty than what it was last month!" The town officials demand that the sheriff deputize some men to form a posse and chase down the outlaws to bring 'em to justice.
