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 forecastsThe 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. Additionally, the book tells you what data you need
to do forecasting, and shows you how to use such useful techniques
as curve fitting, statistical regression analysis, and other
powerful methodologies. You will be able to do a water demand
forecast as sophisticated or as simple as you need, with the
information in this book. An included CD contains a wealth of data
that will help you to understand standard forecasting concepts and
practice standard forecasting procedures.The CD contains * 20
years' of daily weather data (a typical data chart available from
the National Climactic Data Center, useful for many demand-analysis
applications) * 66 years' of daily water use data (a remarkable
series of data, used for several important exercises in water
demand analysis) * Demand curve chart (experiment with the
relationship between price and demand) * 15 years' of data to
analyze per capita water demand (understand such concepts as
regression analysis) * 10 years' of monthly data on water use
proportions and factors (predict seasonal variation of water use
for a customer class or utility) * Sector water use data and
forecast (example of historic data on residential and
commercial/industrial water use and 25-year forecasts based on
growth rates) * Types of water demand forecasts and applications
(know which forecast application to use for short-, mid-, or
long-term forecasts) NEW IN THE SECOND EDITION 1. Findings from the
Water Demand Survey, a polling of more than 600 US water utility
managers on their forecast practices, conservation programs, and
current and anticipated trends per capita water use in their
systems. 2. New chapters on long-term water conservation and
short-term emergency conservation. 3. Expanded coverage of impacts
of weather and climate change on water demand modeling. 4. Expanded
information on price elacticity with example calculations.
