Projecting water demand for the future of a network
Identify the importance of water demand projection for future network needs.
InfoWater Pro allows the allocation of multiple demands to simulate different network flows and conditions.
Demand sets can be assigned to specific model scenarios, so that the demands can be applied to nodes in InfoWater Pro model.
Population projections are often identified in zoning plans created by local planning departments.
These plans estimate future population based on zoning and anticipated development, which can be extrapolated to water demand according to standard practice.
In InfoWater Pro model, demands for future growth and land use can be allocated by assigning future demands to model at appropriate nodes.
Typical uses of demand projections:
- New distribution facilities
- Changes in water demands for existing facilities
- Water supply planning
- Storage analysis
