22. What is “Demand?”
Demand : The amount of water desired by the
consumer base :
Price
Weather
Season
Time
Economic setting

23. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
Background
At a catchment level demand forecasting should be
carried out for each of the major demand sectors.
These are :
Environment (instream flow)
Urban(rural) domestic
Industry
Agriculture

24. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
Influences on water demand and use
There are many influences that affect water demand and
water use. Some of the most commonly cited factors are
related to :
Population
Level of service
Tariff levels
Demand management measures and increased efficiency in
water use
Climatic conditions

25. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
Criteria for assessing forecasting methods
There are numerous methods to forecast water demand
* To assess alternative forecasting methods it is necessary
to establish criteria by which the methods can be judged
- Suggested criteria are as follows :
Consistency and transparency of the method
Logical/theoretical appeal of the method
Method incorporates and explains historical trends
Empirical validation of the method

26. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
Choice of forecasting method
There are no simple rules that can be used to establish
which water demand forecasting method should be used
In deciding which method to use in predicting future
water demands, a balance needs to be made between:
The level of accuracy of the forecast required
The cost of obtaining the required level of accuracy
The benefits accrued from having a higher level accuracy

27. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
The advantages of producing as accurate forecasts as
possible are as follows
Reduces the mis-allocation of resources and allows investment decisions to be delayed
Enables the effects of water resource polices to be examined with confidence
Identifies areas and sectors to be targeted for conservation programs

28. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
Check list for determining the forecast method
Before deciding which forecasting methods to be implement, the following questions should be considered :
What were the previous forecast and are results available?
What were the previous forecast errors and why did they occur?
What data is available and over what period and what is the level of accuracy?
What are the possible forecasting methods available?
Which of these are feasible given the various constraints on
data, budget and skills available to implement these methods?
Do additional data required for future analysis?

29. Forecasting Water Demand and Use
Incorporating uncertainty into forecasting
Uncertainty is an integral part of water demand forecasting
All forecasting methods for water demand and use are
subject to uncertainty
Uncertainty is therefore better considered through the
construction of various scenarios
Higher growth
Water demand
Medium growth
Lower growth
Past
Present

Use of empirical equations to calculate irrigation water
demand
Calculation of reference crop evapotranspiration ET0
Estimation of effective rainfall Pe
Calculation of irrigation demand IR=ET0 -Pe
Estimate overall irrigation efficiency Ei

Use = IR / Ei

36. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
In order to conduct a detailed estimate of irrigation
water demand and use, using formulae, the following
information is required
Reference crop evapotranspiration
Crop type and crop evapotranspiration
Cropped area
Effective rainfall
Soil type and leaching requirements
irrigation efficiencies

37. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
Method of estimating reference crop evapotranspiration
- The reference crop evapotranspiration is based on a
hypothetical, well-watered grass reference crop with
specific characteristics
Blaney-Criddle method
Radiation method
Pan evaporation method
Penman-Monteith method

38. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
Penman-Monteith method
- This method is recommended for use where possible
there is sufficient meteorological data
Where : Rn is the net radiation at crop surface
G is the soil heat flux
T is the average temperature
U2 is the wind speed measured at 2m height
(ea-ed) is the vapor pressure deficit
is the slope vapor pressure curve
is the psychrometric constant

39. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
Penman-Monteith method
Advantages of Penman-Monteith method
- The FAO of the United Nations recommend the use of
the penman-Monteith equation
- Climate data and tools to assist with the calculation of
ET0 using the Penman-Monteith method are available
from the FAO
- The method can be used to estimate ET0 on a daily basis
Disadvantages of Penman-Monteith method
- This method requires a considerable amount of climatic
data

40. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
Estimation of the crop coefficient
The crop evapotranspiration ETcrop in mm/day is calculated by
multiplying the reference crop evapotranspiraing ET0 in mm/day
by a dimensionless crop coefficient Kc
The crop coefficient is dependent on the following factors
- Crop type
- Climate
- Soil evaporation
- Group growth stage

41. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
Estimation of the crop coefficient
Typical crop coefficient curve
Initial Stage when the leaf area is small and majority of the ET is due to
soil evaporation
Crop development Stage when the leaf area grows from approximately
10% to full ground cover
Mid-season Stage when the crop is reaching maturity
Late Stage runs from the start of maturity to the harvest

42. Forecasting Water Demand and Use : Agricultural
Estimation of Effective rainfall
The proportion of the rainfall that is useful for crop
production. There are several factors that affect effective
rainfall including :
- Rainfall characteristics
- Soil type
- Groundwater characteristics
