Abstract

Two new models, for domestic water demand and the effect of water price on demand, respectively, are presented. The first is based on the multiple regressive analysis of data from 43 cities for a period of rapid increase of water demand and the second is based on the characteristics of price elasticity on the water demand. These models are successfully applied to a period of fluctuating low growth of water demand following the rapid growth period. Major findings are:(1) the structure of domestic water demand has not changed;(2) the domestic demand is inelastic with respect to price.
