Abstract:

The multi-Watfore method, which combines the cascade model and a first order analysis of uncertainty, is a system of practical steps to develop models of water demand while generating confidence intervals to bracket the uncertainty of those forecasts. This paper describes the multi-Watfore method and its implementation in a study performed for the Central Texas region along the Colorado River. Annual and monthly water demand models for the area's cities and counties are presented.
