یکپارچه سازی داده ها برای مدیریت تقاضای آب

Although utilities have access to land use and demographic data, often little is known of water users, except for their billing class. The present study integrated this data with water billing records of three Canadian municipalities, using it to define benchmarks and targets for conservation. Integrated databases were created for easy storage and updating. Results were presented in a summary tool. Access to an organized and condensed version of the extensive water, land use, and demographic data facilitates system assessments. The integrated database and the summary tool provide actionable information for utilities seeking to increase the sustainability of their systems.
