Modeling Domestic Water Demand on a Suburb Level
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
In this study it was assumed that a suburb provides a good basis for grouping water demands, and that it is adequate to design for the average suburb AAD (annual average demand). A database on measured domestic water demands was used to determine the average AAD for a large number of suburbs in South Africa, and this data was further linked to sensus and climate data. The combined data set was then subjected to various regression analyses, and a method was developed to compare these models. This method may assist with determining suitable design guidelines for suburb AAD in future.
