In order to develop a better understanding of increases in demand and its implication on
water supply development options, the Tampa Bay Water Authority commissioned the
development of a long-term forecast of water demands. The forecasting effort uses a high-level
of spatial disaggregation and explicitly incorporates uncertainties in long-term growth
projections. The probabilistic model is derived from a recently developed GIS tool constructed at
the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) level, providing reliable and precise estimates of water demand
relationships for prominent user sectors. This approach produces a range of possible future
water demands, including estimates of the chance of exceeding certain levels of demand over the
forecast horizon. Includes table, figures.
