Models for forecasting water demand using time series analysis: a case study in Southern Brazil

Technology has been increasingly applied in search for excellence in water resource management. Tools such as demand-forecasting models provide information for utility companies to make operational, tactical and strategic decisions. Also, the performance of water distribution systems can be improved...
