What technique can most efficiently lessen water shortages caused by droughts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allowing price to equate the quantity demanded of water with the quantity supplied of water will encourage consumers to use water more efficiently and reduce wastage. It will also incentivize suppliers to increase the supply of water. This approach will lead to a more sustainable use of water resources during droughts. Restricting water usage of consumers or imposing tight price controls may not be effective in managing water shortages caused by droughts. Creating a website where "water wasters" can be reported may help in educating consumers and encouraging them to be more responsible with water usage, but it may not address the root cause of the problem.
