Abstract

This project assessed how water demand was affected by the recent recession. It also evaluated how economic shocks can be differentiated from the many other factors known to have an impact on demand, and analyzed how water utilities may be better able to anticipate, adapt to, and minimize impacts of future economic cycles on water demand planning. Research partners: Tampa Bay Water and San Diego County Water Authority.
