This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to build upon and extend previous water conservation research efforts of price and nonprice conservation programs on residential water demand in different urban areas of the southwestern United States. The primary research objectives are to: (1) develop residential water demand models to examine the effectiveness of price and nonprice programs; (2) develop and document a database of residential water demand in selected study ares; (3) evaluate the effectiveness of price and nonprice conservation programs using the water demand models and database developed for this study; and (4) examine the applicability of extending regional water demand relationships and results of conservation program effectiveness to other cities in the region. Specific issues examines on regional, seasonal and individual city basis include: How responsive are consumers to changes in the price of water?; are consumers responding to the average price, marginal price, or some combination of the two?; How does demand change or respond to implementation of nonprice conservation program? Is it appropriate to model and apply results on effectiveness to other cities in the region? The scope in terms of number and cross section of cities, detail of observations (monthly time periods), length of time covered and inclusion of price and nonprice programs combined with the analytical techniques used, contribute to making his one of the most comprehensive studies conducted on residential water use and the effectiveness of conservation programs. The research techniques and results of this evaluation will benefit water utilities and consumers through lower costs and more secure water supplies because of improved understanding and better planning and implementation of residential price, rate structure and nonprice conservation programs.
Download or read book Long term Effects of Conservation Rates written by Vista Consulting Group and published by American Water Works Association. This book was released on 1997 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 is the Introduction. Chapter 2 addresses particular conservation pricing strategies and the relationship between rate design and conservation. It is not only the size of the price change that determines the demand response but also the rate structure implemented. Inverted rate, summer seasonal rate and summer/winter differential rate structures are discussed in this chapter. Chapter 3 of the report is a practical guide and discussion of the price elasticity of water demand. The chapter provides an overview of what has been learned thus far about demand responses to price changes under varying circumstances, assumptions, and pricing strategies based on the experience of hundreds of water utilities. The chapter focuses on what utility managers should learn from the results of these studies so they can apply these results to their conservation pricing efforts. Chapter 4 is a special treatment of the long-term impacts of conservation pricing. It is much more difficult to estimate long-run price elasticities because numerous other factors that impact water demand over the long term have to be accounted for. Studies on long-term impacts have been much less reliable and have often contradicted each other. The chapter addresses various aspects that are known about long-run impacts of conservation pricing, including the difference between behavioral versus structural responses to price changes and how such a difference determines the differences between short- and long-run demand impacts and between the responses of the various customer classes.
Download or read book Saving Water in a Desert City written by William E. Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was stimulated by and sets out to analyse a political battle over water pricing by a municipal system. Originally published in 1984, this title provides improved methods for demand function estimation where block rates are involved, suggests procedures for rational pricing of municipal water, and explains how politics can dominate when real decisions are made. Due to the additional virtue of this title being easy to read, it is ideal for students interested in environmental studies, economics, and policy making, as well as for those involved with municipal services and resource management in general.
