Figure 37 provides the chance to compare the the water usage from different angles.<br />
Indirect potable reuse in CA consumes the most water but discharge the least used water.<br />
Indirect potable reuse in UD stays in the medium condition considering both water withdrawal<br />
and used water discharge. Using the options of roof-water and direct non-potable reuse in<br />
WUU and local sources in UD together has the lowest water withdrawal with the medium<br />
level of used water discharge. And whatever in which situation, roof-water utilisation reduces<br />
the water withdrawal. Such kind of analyses and comparison can be further performed based<br />
on the graph. If it is helpful, it can go back to UD and WUU in order to find out the optimal<br />
water usage. Moreover, the same comparison can be carried out between different water<br />
usage scenarios, which are not verbosely described here.<br />
There can be some options that are appropriate, and which are the better ones may not<br />
be directly identified based on the water usage. Therefore, further comparison for WIS needs<br />
to be achieved based on system costs and energy consumption.<br />

In a holistic view, the relations between total water demands and water sources need to<br />
be revealed. As defined in § 1.3.3, the model copes with two situations: 1. planning of new<br />
area and 2. expansion of existing area. Both situations are presented together in Figure 38.<br />
All possible sources are given for satisfying the maximum possible water demand. The<br />
maximal amount of reused water is adapted in order to represent the extreme situation. All<br />
water sources depicted from bottom to top in the figure are in the same sequence as their<br />
general priorities given in Table 19. The total water demands in <strong>IUWS</strong> can be various in<br />
different scenarios based on different EUWUPs. Figure 38 clearly shows the relations<br />
between water demands and sources, which help model users to determine the suitable<br />
water scenarios and properly organise the water sources.
