Cost effective minimum water network
Encyclopedia
Cost effective minimum water network is a holistic framework for water conservation
which considers all conceivable methods to save water based on the water management hierarchy
.
This framework, which is applicable for industrial as well as urban systems was first developed by Wan Alwi and Manan. The framework is applicable for grassroots design and retrofit of water systems and ensures that a desired payback period for design of a water recovery system is satisfied using Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient Process Screening (SHARPS)
technique.
Water conservation
Water conservation refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning, manufacturing, and agricultural irrigation.- Water conservation :Water conservation can be defined as:...

Water management hierarchy
Water Management Hierarchy is a hierarchy of water conservation priorities. Levels of the hierarchy from the highest to the lowest in terms of the priority for water conservation include elimination, reduction, outsourcing/reuse and regeneration. The most preferred option is elimination,...
