ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: This paper sets out a fresh approach to a core water industry challenge, to explain how water is used by its wide spectrum of domestic customers. Most raw data on domestic water use comes from monitoring panels, scaled up as if water use variation were random. Analysis of panel data in this study shows most households have a recurring pattern of daily water use. However, there are a wide variety of patterns in the average diurnal usage for these sites – a diversity of water-use lifestyles.
