On February 22, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar signed a secretarial order establishing an initiative called WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow). WaterSMART calls for water conservation actions to increase available water supplies of 350,000 acre feet by 2012 for agricultural, municipal, industrial and environmental uses. Several parts of the order aim at improving water management through conservation and assisting water managers to make wise decisions about water use.
