At Artesia we support water companies forcasting domestic and commercial water demand for their Water Resources Management Plans (WRMP). For domestic consumption, we base our forecasting on population predictions and key indicators like the number of new homes, the expected changes in metering rates, types of buildings, occupancy of households, demographic segmentation, and, at times, even the expected number of micro-components (toilets, showers, taps, appliances, etc.). For commercial forecasting we consider econometric factors like population growth, economic growth, rate of employment, types of businesses in the area, and company-specific indicators (e.g. prevalence of tourism). Once we have a baseline prediction for domestic and commercial consumption, we adjust it for climate change, different socio-economic scenarios, and considerations about water efficiency initiatives that we expect to have an impact in the future.
