The document summarizes water reduction strategies presented by Robert Smith from The Minto Green Team at the Canadian Water Summit 2011. It discusses establishing benchmarks, conducting research and development on innovative water reduction products and pilot projects. Specific initiatives mentioned include capturing rainwater, greywater and stormwater, installing waterless urinals, submetering, and using drought-resistant landscaping. Retrofitting existing buildings and new builds with low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting, and efficient landscaping practices can save over 1 billion litres of water and reduce consumption by 44%, saving millions of dollars.
