Forecasting Future Water Requirements and Assessing Storage Capacities in Reservoirs

Source

Source summary

Develop a planning model comparing future domestic, industrial, agricultural and ecological water demand with current and future reservoir storage. Integrate historical use, climate projections, population and farming practices, including land-use and demographic changes. Model extreme-weather/demand scenarios, identify storage or infrastructure gaps and provide policymakers with options for capacity, efficiency and risk management.
