Download or read book Residential End Uses of Water written by Peter W. Mayer and published by American Water Works Association. This book was released on 1999 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AWWARF) and 22 municipalities, water utilities, water purveyors, water districts and water providers funded this study. Goals of this research included: Providing specific data on the end uses of water in residential settings across the continent; Assembling data on disaggregated indoor and outdoor uses; Identifying variations in water used for each fixture or appliance according to a variety of factors; and Developing predictive models forecast residential water demand. This report represents a time and place snapshot of how water is used in single-family homes in twelve North American locations. Similarities and differences among 'end users' were tabulated for each location, analyzed and summarized. Great care was taken to create a statistically significant representative sample of customer for each of the twelve locations. However, these twelve locations are not statistically representative of all North American locations.

Download or read book Residential Water Use Rate Revenue and Nonprice Conservation Program Database written by Ari Montgomery Michelsen and published by American Water Works Association. This book was released on 1998 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes and contains the information and database developed for the research study Effectiveness of Residential Water Conservation Price and Nonprice Programs (Michelsen, McGuckin and Stumpf 1998). The water demand, price and conservation program information documented in this report is the result of research and data collection efforts and utility cooperation initiated in 1991 by William Bruvold and continued by the researchers of this report through a consortium of universities. The study encompasses seven water utilities in three western states- California, Colorado and New Mexico. The information gathered, developed and refined for this study was digitized and a database created in spreadsheet format for analysis. Database structure, variable names, definitions, computational adjustments and study area characteristics are described in this report. Water demand model descriptions and analysis results of this research are presented in another publication of the AWWA Research Foundation by Michelsen, McGuckin and Stumpf (1998) entitled Effectiveness of Residential Water Conservation Price and Nonprice Programs.

Download or read book Residential Water Demand written by Angelo P. Grima and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1972-12-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed study of the use of water at different price levels by residential consumers in the Toronto-centred region from Hamilton to Oshawa challenges the basis of our present urban water supply policy. Adoption of the recommendations presented would mean higher prices to householders, but a considerable saving of hundreds of millions of tax dollars over the next three decades. The present policy uses a 'requirement approach' in which future water needs are calculated by extrapolation of past trends and an assumption that demand is inelastic. This leads to excessive levels of water use and over-investment in water supply, sewage collection, and treatment systems. The resultant misallocation of resources can be corrected by adoption of a demand/management approach in which investment policy is guided by consumer demand and alternative pricing arrangements are used as a management tool. Dr. Grima examines several alternative choices for management, such as metering, increasing marginal prices, sewerage charges, seasonal charges, and an increasing price block schedule, and describes the results of each. Water managers in Canada are strongly challenged to begin a fundamental rethinking of their basic policies. (Department of Geography Research Publication 7)

Book excerpt: This book describes the water sector as it is structured in Italy. The first part describes the legal framework which rules the sector in Italy, its evolution since the last 20 years, and its weaknesses. The second part describes the governance of Italian water utilities, distinguishing full public-owned companies from public-private partnership and private companies. The third part reports insights on water utilities performance to enquire the presence of economies by scope, scale and density in the Italian water sector, and to verify the presence of any differences in terms of efficiency and tariffs among public and private firms. The fourth part describes the investment policies carried out by water utilities, observing the total amount of per capita investments and the actual realization of planned investments. The fifth part describes if and how utilities applied water conservation practices to incentive the sustainable water use.
