Abstract

Utility Impact Analysis with GIS
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Jacob Petrosky

A custom, parcel level, probability based growth model was created to project future utility demand and assist in the development of the Water & Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) Master Plan. Distribution of demand is based on currently adopted land use policy and suitability of available land. The Model acts as a spatial decision support tool and allows for Utility Impact Analysis (UIA) to be conducted at the site or basin level to determine infrastructure needs.
