Abstract

When water is plentiful and easily available, we tend to take it for granted and overuse it but when water availability is limited or its use is being monitored by water meters, it results in reduced water contamination and non-revenue water as well as uninterrupted water supply to the cities. As the 24 x 7 water supply scheme is at its very initial stage in Gujarat state, data from New North zone in Surat Municipal Corporation of monthly water consumption which is metered had been collected and analyzed to forecast the water consumption. After applying various econometric techniques to collected data, results of the study revealed that the Holt model performed better and can be used for modeling and forecasting the water consumption. Key Words: 24 x 7 water supply scheme, Metered water consumption, forecasting, and Holt model. Policy
