Figure 6-12 Forecast of Regional Schemes Average Annual Water Demand
The figure shows that the water demands predicted using the traditional approach is about
1000ML more than that predicted using the contemporary approach. Some of this extra
demand could be attributed to the higher population projection in the traditional approach.
Both the traditional and contemporary demand projection approaches assumes that the
current water use practices and behaviour will continue as at present and the demand
variation to climate and tourist inflow will also continue as at present. The Supplementary
Demand Report prepared by DLWC provides additional information and assumptions
relating to contemporary demand forecast approach used for this study.
Figure 6-14 and Figure 6-13 shows the regional schemes current and future average
annual and peak day water demand splits between the northern, central and southern
urban areas.
