Examines the effectiveness of traditional border enforcement methods, and recommends new approaches of using technology and intelligence as tools to a larger and innovative strategy to secure the border against human smuggling, illegal drugs and cartel violence.
This report looks at apprehensions of undocumented crossers over the years in Arizona and elsewhere, as well as "triggers" related to enforcement standards and metrics to determine the "effectiveness rate" in helping Congress and its constituents reach the elusive agreement on a "secure border."
In a rapidly growing desert metropolis such as Phoenix, the question of which water conservation measures and factors actually save water and which do not is an obviously important one. The water-related decisions made today and in the years to come will have lasting impact on the future of this area, including upon its sustainability. Estimates from the City of Phoenix suggest that, in non-SRP-areas, water demand will exceed water supply by the year 2025--absent droughts or intervention.
This report documents and analyzes the results of a multivariate regression analysis designed to estimate the effects on residential, single-family water consumption of a host of factors, particularly water conservation policies.
This book is designed to be a "cookbook" for water evaluators who would like to be able to do a good job evaluating their water programs for decision-making, but who don't know a lot about statistics.
