“…However, in November 2014, voters rejected the 1% sales tax that would have provided $400 million in revenue to fund the plan and to support other projects, such as transportation and economic development. Although the existing ASR project may be adequate to fulfill the city's water supply needs ''for the foreseeable future'' [Chowdhury et al, 2013], voters were not willing to support expansion of the ASR to provide resilience during severe droughts. In this city one finds substantial resistance to a more complete transition in the water conservation policies: consumers did not rush to embrace rebates, and voters also rejected a long-term water resiliency project.…”

“…Regimes often undergo changes when niches, where new technologies and organizations develop, scale up and replace the existing regime or result in major changes in the regime as it incorporates and transforms the niches (Geels and Schot ). For water‐supply systems, it is possible to develop an ideal typical trajectory of three phases of water‐supply regime transition: first, reliance on local groundwater and surface‐water sources while the population is low and demand is low; second, a transition to reliance on long‐distance pipelines and distant reservoirs that import water under interstate and intrastate agreements and regulations (Chowdhury, Lant, and Dziegielewski ); and third, after cities exhaust traditional sources of water supply, the development of new methods such as aquifer recharge, desalination, and demand‐reduction programs (Richter et al. ).…”

“…We define city boundaries, in this study, using delineated metropolitan areas as this is the native spatial resolution of key datasets ( e.g ., subnational commodity flows) required to determine the urban WF. Urban WF assessments are needed as the majority of the U.S. population resides in urban areas and many water‐related decisions are made at the urban level (Chowdhury et al ., ; Hering et al ., ; McDonald et al ., ; Hornberger et al ., ). Also, urban areas offer unique opportunities for implementing demand‐side water management and adapting water use behaviors (Chowdhury et al ., ; Hornberger et al ., ).…”
