Accurate water demand projection is essential for a municipality to plan and budget to meet the future needs of the citizens in the community. However, many factors can influence the future water demand for a community, including population growth, changes in demographics, the effectiveness of water conservation initiatives, new low-demand plumbing fixture technologies and increased leakage due to aging water distribution infrastructure.
How does an engineer account for all of these factors to derive an accurate water demand projection? This course introduces the student to water demand projection methods that can accurately estimate future water consumption based on these factors. Example problems are used to illustrate the methodology. Additionally, the course covers policies that can be implemented to influence consumers' water consumption habits in an effort to reduce overall demand.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain why accurate water-demand projection is important.
- Describe typical water-consumption rates and their distribution among residential, agricultural, industrial, and other users.
- Compare methods used to project water demand.
- Explain water demand-side management (DSM), including price incentives, use regulations, and other policies.
- Identify residential conservation measures that can reduce water demand.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 11 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
