Simulating Residential Water Demand with a Stochastic End-Use Model
TLDR
In this article, a water demand end-use model was developed to predict water demand patterns with a small time scale (1 s) and small spatial scale (residence level).Abstract:
A water demand end-use model was developed to predict water demand patterns with a small time scale (1 s) and small spatial scale (residence level). The end-use model is based on statistical inform...read more

Benefits and challenges of using smart meters for advancing residential water demand modeling and management
TL;DR: This manuscript is the first comprehensive review of the literature in this quickly evolving water research domain and contributes a general framework for the classification of residential water demand modeling studies, which allows revising consolidated approaches, describing emerging trends, and identifying potential future developments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel mixed method smart metering approach to reconciling differences between perceived and actual residential end use water consumption
TL;DR: In this article, a high resolution smart metering study producing a detailed end use event registry as well as psycho-social and socio-demographic surveys, stock inventory audits and self-reported water diaries was completed for 252 households located in South-east Queensland, Australia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of domestic hot water consumption profiles for application in systems and buildings energy performance analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent works on hot water consumption profiles in different types of buildings and then synthesize available information for the accurate estimation of the energy consumption resulting from domestic hot water usage.

Adaptation to climate change impacts on water demand
Xiaojun Wang,Jian yun Zhang,Shamsuddin Shahid,En hong Guan,Yong xiang Wu,Juan Gao,Rui min He +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarising the findings related to climate change impacts on water demand is carried out, and a water management strategy is also proposed, which would help with adaptation to growing pressure on water resources due to climate changes and socio-economic development.

ANN-based residential water end-use demand forecasting model
TL;DR: This study concludes with an application of the developed forecasting model for predicting the water savings derived from a citywide implementation of a residential water appliance retrofit program (i.e., retrofitting with efficient toilets, clothes washers and shower heads).

Discolouration in potable water distribution systems: a review.
Jan Vreeburg,Joby Boxall +1 more
TL;DR: There are very few published practicable tools and techniques available to aid water companies in the planned management and control of discolouration problems, and this is an area in need of significant further practical research and development.

Model for Instantaneous Residential Water Demands
Steven G. Buchberger,Lin Wu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors modeled residential water use as a customer-server interaction often encountered in queueing theory and derived expressions for the mean, variance and probability distribution of the flow rate and the corresponding pipe Reynolds number at points along a dead-end trunk line.

Intensity, Duration, and Frequency of Residential Water Demands
TL;DR: In this article, a 1-year period of water demands at four single-family residences were monitored and converted to single equivalent rectangular pulses, each pulse was classified by type (deterministic or random), location (indoor or outdoor) and day (weekday or weekend).

A stochastic model for representing drinking water demand at residential level
TL;DR: In this paper, a cluster Neyman-Scott stochastic process (NSRP) is proposed to represent the residential water demand and a parameterization procedure is implemented to respect the cyclical behaviour usually observed in any working day.

Stochastic Model to Evaluate Residential Water Demands
Vicente Juan Garcia,Rafael García-Bartual,Enrique Cabrera,Francisco J. Arregui,Jorge García-Serra +4 more
TL;DR: A stochastic model for residential water demand simulation is developed, based on a rectangular pulse point process of residential consumption of given duration and intensity, with satisfactory agreement generally found between synthetic and historical series for most significant variables used in practical applications.
