Classification, benchmarking, and hydroeconomic modeling of nonresidential water users
The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Water Research Foundation have identified the development of a standardized method for classifying and benchmarking nonresidential water users as a major research need. The methodology proposed in this article uses water utility billing data spatially linked to property‐appraisal and business data to arrive at a detailed description of how nonresidential customers use water. Property‐appraisal and business databases are available nationwide and provide an extensive, standardized classification scheme through the North American Industry Classification System, along with data on building area, number of employees, and annual sales as measures of size that can be used to develop water use benchmarks. Additionally, this methodology allows coefficients for water use per dollar of economic activity to be developed and incorporated into hydroeconomic models and other tools used to model the interaction between water use and the economy. For this analysis, data on 4,622 nonresidential parcels in Austin, Texas, were used.
