Abstract
There is growing interest in modeling water demands on short time scales (as brief as one second) and small spatial scales (typically single homes). Buchberger et al. (1996, 2003) have developed the Poisson Rectangular Pulse (PRP) model for this purpose. Blokker et al. (in prep.) have developed an end-use model SIMDEUM (which stands for SIMulation of Demand, and End-Use Model) which is based on statistical information from end-uses and does not require any flow measurements. SIMDEUM was developed and validated for Dutch water use. In this paper the PRP model and SIMDEUM are compared with each other and with measured indoor water demands from 21 homes in Milford, Ohio. Both models compare well to the measurements; the PRP model works better in simulating the cumulative flows of a sum of 20, SIMDEUM works better in simulating the flows of a single home.
