This book is an exposition of statistical methods for forecasting municipal water demand according to customer class and for integrating demand analysis with hydrologic studies, capacity planning, and water conservation programs. The authors address the following issues in the field of municipal water planning: the factors influencing municipal water use, the estimation of statistical demand functions by customer class, procedures for evaluating the reliability of forecasts, the experience of municipal utilities with statistical demand modeling, the conceptual range of applications of these models, the relation of applications in a systems context, and the integration of the applications in management planning. Case studies of two metropolitan water systems are used to explore the validity and range of applications of statistical demand techniques within management and planning processes.
