National Perspective in Water Demand ModelingJ.KindlerauthorC.RussellauthorThis chapter deals only with national models, and, in fact, almost all the works referred to are national water use rather than national water demand studies. There exists a large number of exercises aimed at one or another of the model purposes baseline forecasting; the analysis of the impact of government policies; or the balancing of water use and supply. In the sections that follow, each of these purposes is discussed in turn, with reference where appropriate to a sample of studies from a variety of countries.1984VerlagBook Section
