| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The purpose of this report is to provide detailed water use estimates for the residential (indoor) and ICI (Institutional, Commercial, Industrial) water use sectors based on actual water use where it has been recorded through water meters in the Okanagan Basin. This report builds on previous work completed as part of the Okanagan Water Supply and Demand Project (OWSDP). As agricultural, golf course, and similar outdoor water uses have already been examined through the OWSDP, more detailed water use values for the indoor use sectors are required to support the Okanagan Basin Water Balance Model being developed concurrently through the OWSDP. Previous reports have provided estimates of actual water use for these two key sectors based on assumptions provided by experts. This report attempts to verify those assumptions and improve data reliability by reporting actual water use where it has been recorded by water purveyors. water supply, water use, allocation |
