Sustainable Water Demand Study and Smart Metering Trial
We prepared a Sustainable Water Demand Study for Mackenzie District Council to help them understand their water demand drivers, water demand management options, and their supply-demand balance forecast for improved water efficiency.
We also assessed smart digital water metering options for MDC’s on-demand water supply networks.
Water Balance Optimisation for Waipā District Council
We created Excel templates to semi-automate the process of calculating water demand measures required for the Network Environmental Performance Report and council annual reports. Also trained council staff so that they can complete this work inhouse going forward.
Measuring water demand components is the first step towards better management of demands and a sustainable water supply.
