文摘

An agent-based model is created using data for household characteristics and outdoor water use to calculate water demands. An agent-based model is created to represent utility response to water shortages to enact residential restrictions. The agent-based model is coupled with reservoir simulation for a case study, and results are compared to historic data. Sustainability of water policies is evaluated for climate scenarios created using a stochastic reconstruction framework.
