Assessment of predictive uncertainty within the framework of water demand forecasting using the Model Conditional Processor (MCP)
This paper presents an application of the Model Conditional Processor (MCP), originally proposed by Todini (2008) within the hydrological framework, to assess the predictive uncertainty in water demand forecasting related to water distribution systems. The MCP enables us to assess the probability distribution of the future water demand conditional on the forecasts provided by two or more deterministic forecasting models. In the numerical application described here, where two years of hourly water demand data for a town in northern Italy are considered, two forecasting models are applied in order to forecast hourly water demands from 1 to 24 hours ahead: the first model has a modular structure comprising a periodic component which reflects the long-term effects and a persistence component which represents the short-term memory of the process; the latter is based on neural networks. The results highlight the effectiveness of the approach, provided that the data set used for the MCP parameterization is properly selected so as to be actually representative of the accuracy of the real-time water demand forecasting models.
