Estimating demand depends on the water usage patterns and is usually unique for a particular system. For instance, a difference can exist for a residential and a non- residential system. A water usage pattern may also be unique because of the individuality of consumers on the system and their expectations to use water whenever and however they wish. Water demand estimation is complex and involves consideration of a number of factors: 1. Climatic influences (evaporation, vapor transpiration, temperature, precipitation, winds, etc.); Climate has a significant impact on water use. For instance, in areas where freezing temperatures are prevalent, water use should be closely evaluated. Some systems may see higher demands as users allow faucets to run to prevent freezing. 2. Socioeconomic influences (property values, economic status, residential densities); Demographics change with the nature of a development. Population densities are different for single family and multi-family resid
