Abstract
In this chapter, we present an agent-based model of household water consumption simulation (HWCSim) for the visualization of policy effectiveness of total amount control for household water consumption and as a guide for sustainable water resource management. Within this model the volume of household water consumption is regulated through a negotiation process regarding water price adjustment between household and government. Water consumption in an urban area is examined as a closed local water market, and a water price negotiation process between the supply side and the demand side is simulated. This process reflects how the supply side (government) and the demand side (households) reach a consensus on water price.KeywordsWater ConsumptionWater PricePolicy AttitudeWater MarketRich HouseholdThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
