One of Dr. Peter Gleick's most practical solutions to water management is the implementation of water pricing that reflects true costs, including environmental and social impacts. By establishing a pricing system that encourages conservation and efficient use, it can incentivize individuals and industries to use water more wisely. Additionally, promoting decentralized water systems, such as rainwater harvesting and wastewater recycling, can enhance resilience and sustainability in local communities. These approaches not only address immediate water scarcity issues but also foster long-term sustainable management practices.
