Abstract
To Buildout and Beyond: Allocating Model Water Demands Using GIS
Track: Water Distribution, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Author(s): Craig Scott
This paper presents different methods of allocating existing and projected water demand to hydraulic model nodes using ArcView and Microsoft Access. These methods were developed for water master plans, integrated resource plans, and general plan updates and have also been used to monitor the impact of new development on water supplies and infrastructure. In addition, the paper presents demand allocation methods suitable for input to modern hydraulic models incorporating different water use patterns for a single node and improved calibration techniques. The methods presented incorporate procedures for optimizing the use of a variety of available, however imperfect, data sources.
