Abstract

The purpose of this guidebook is to provide an overview of the roles and functions that a water bank can serve and the steps needed to create an effective water acquisition program to enhance supply reliability using a water bank. We also provide a concise menu of decision and evaluation criteria and examine design and implementation factors, as well as potential shortcomings and challenges in water bank design and operations.
