Residential and industrial water demand for Boise Valley municipalities. Agricultural economics extension series no. 05-13 Item Info

Estimation of M&I demand functions are costly and data intensive. To obtain the degrees of freedom, data needs to be obtained from a cross section of municipalities or a time series for many years from a single city. And given these data limitation will not be particularly accurate. With the time series data are usually discarded because the assumption of a stable demand function over 20 or 30 years is obviously not reasonable.! The cross section data are most often estimated a demand per household. In lieu of conducting a costly survey of Boise Valley municipalities, that may not yield the required data to estimate demand functions, we choose to formulate the demand functions from secondary data sources. To formulate a demand function for each municipality in the Boise Valley, elasticities obtain from the plethora of residential water demand studies are calibrated current prices and quantities of residential water for the respective municipality. The rational for this approach will be followed by the rational in selection of elasticities to be implemented. Lastly, we will deal with the case of "Dual Use" systems that are emerging throughout the Boise Valley.
