USER MODELING
“drivers for indoor use include household composition, presence of water saving devices and a range of socio-economic factors”
“The success of household water demand management strategies is dependent on how well we understand how people think about
water and water use»
(Jorgensen et al., 2009)
![Page 34: Residential water users' modeling SOTA](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/54929c7aac79590e2e8b4668/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
USER MODELING
The aim is to “improve the understanding of the end uses of water and to assist where to focus water conservation efforts”
«DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES»
e.g. Gato-Trinidad, 2011 _daily usage is: 66% indoor use, 29% outdoor use, 5% leakage _indoor use: 31% shower, 26% laundry, 19% toilet flushing, 24% others _higher daily water consumption in summertime (also indoor) _50% saving could be possible by using front loaders machines in spite of top loaders

35
USER MODELING
The aim is to understand the aim of variables of the same domain on water consumption
«SINGLE VARIABLE DOMAIN STUDIES»
e.g. Fox, 2009 Univariate and multivariate analysis for “Classifying households for water demand forecasting using physical property characteristics” FINDINGS: _ significant difference depending on household size (number of bedrooms), architectural type and garden presence _ not importan difference due to garden aspect or age
![Page 36: Residential water users' modeling SOTA](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/54929c7aac79590e2e8b4668/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
USER MODELING
The aim is to understand the aim of variables of different domains on water consumption
«MULTIPLE VARIABLE DOMAIN STUDIES»
e.g. Willis, 2011 _ explore relationship between stock efficiency and water end use _ assess the influence of socio-demographic factors on water consumption FINDINGS: _ apart from irrigation, the lower socio-economic groups tend to use slightly more water _ general decrease in consumption per capita as family size increases (apart from clothes washer and toilet) _ combined household efficiency savings can be up to 30% _ payback times: 2 years for showerheads, 7 years for washing machines, 21 years for RWT
![Page 37: Residential water users' modeling SOTA](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051610/54929c7aac79590e2e8b4668/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
USER MODELING
The aim is to forecast residential water demand
«DEMAND FORECASTING MODELS»
e.g. Bennet, 2013 _ ANN are used to model and forecast residential water demand FINDINGS: _ household income, number of adults, number of children, number of teenagers, and appliance stock efficiency regarding toilet, shower and clothes washer end uses were the predominant determinants
