Conservation Impact Card
A shareable annual snapshot of a utility's conservation work — gallons saved, programs that delivered, and the dollar value of water conserved.
Claude answers using this utility's real Water Conservation Plan Annual Report metrics, conservation plan goals, and program activity — not generic advice.
Methodology
Savings calculation (demo): Water saved this year ≈ a realistic annual per-capita reduction in use, scaled to the utility's conservation-program maturity, applied across the service population. Totals are therefore proportionate — small utilities show modest savings, larger systems show more — rather than an oversized raw baseline-minus-current gap.
Production methodology: Goldwater's production platform applies a library of 70 standardized Texas-specific and national BMP formulas against each utility's annual interview responses, utility profile data, and inputed data — producing per-program savings figures that sum to the total. Top 3 programs in the demo are synthesized from the utility's conservation maturity profile; production deploys per-BMP formulas against actual interview responses.
Dollar value: Gallons saved × the utility's own production cost per 1,000 gallons. For City of Pearland, that's $3.42/kgal.
Plain-language equivalents: Olympic-size pool ≈ 660,000 gallons. Texas household annual use ≈ 70,000 gallons (per TWDB statewide medians). Regional water body equivalents use publicly known reservoir or aquifer reference volumes scaled to the utility's home Regional Water Planning Group.
WaterMyYard savings: Subscribers × 14,000 gal/subscriber/year (industry estimate from existing irrigation outreach program research).
These methodologies are tunable by Goldwater staff and re-calibrated annually as the statewide cohort dataset grows.
