Abstract: An analytical method is derived to describe the distribution of water quantity saved among customers within a water-use sector who adopt a water conservation action. Analytical results tend toward lognormal distributions ...

Abstract: Econometricians have long studied the effect of price on residential water demand and the impact on water use of the rate (tariff) structure in which price signals are embedded. This paper applies an existing deductive ...

Abstract: Six balancing rules are derived to inform short-term drawdown and recharge of water in multiple, unconnected aquifers. Management objectives are: (1) minimizing costs; (2) maximizing duration of operation; and (3) maximizing ...

Abstract: This paper develops an integrated approach to model heterogeneous household water and energy use and their linkages. The approach considers variations in behavioral and technological water and energy use factors that affect ...

Abstract: This study develops and applies a simple linear optimization program to identify cost-effective best management practices (BMPs) to reduce phosphorus loading in Echo Reservoir, Utah. The optimization program tests the ...

Abstract: Behavior and technological impacts on residential indoor water use and conservation efforts in the United States are identified. Preexisting detailed end-use data was collected before and after toilets, faucets, showerheads, ...

Abstract: Most urban water-use monitoring, modeling, and conservation research has focused on a large but relatively homogenous group of residential water users. Commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) facilities use large ...
