Description
If you have responsibility for forecasting future water demand in your city, AWWA's newly revised Forecasting Urban Water Demand provides all the tools you need to accurately forecast drinking-water requirements for your city in the short-, mid-, and long-term. Forecasting Urban Water Demand examines the full range of influences on urban water demand-population, weather, climate, water prices/rates, and short- and long-term conservation programs. It describes how to use all water demand-forecasting techniques used by US water utilities: 1. Annual per capita water demand forecasts 2. Annual water demand forecasts by major customer class 3. Peak day forecasts 4. Monthly system water demand forecasts 5. Daily water demand forecasts 6. Revenue forecasts linked with water demand forecasts The book provides guidance for choosing the right forecasting methods, depending upon the uses for which you will use the forecast, such as sizing system capacity and raw water supply, rate setting, revenue forecasting, or planning distribution system improvements.
