Abstract

This paper presents a review of attempts to refine water demand forecasting techniques, particularly in connection with residential, industrial, agricultural and recreational water use. The review begins with a description of major trends in the field, based particularly on work undertaken in the United States. It then turns to a discussion of contributions of Canadian researchers, particularly since the publication of the volume on Forecasting the Demands for Water in 1968 (Sewell & Bower, 1968). The present paper is intended as a complement to a much more detailed discussion by Tate (1977).
