Abstract/Contents

Abstract: In this study, we used high-resolution data from smart meters (i.e., advanced metering infrastructure) to investigate nonresidential urban irrigation dynamics. We modeled water use in a case study of the City of Redwood City in the San Francisco Bay Area during the historic 2012–2016 California drought. Despite different local policy regimes for recycled and potable water customers, we found that both responded to drought conditions and statewide sentiment. Water use patterns mimicked those across California, with the highest savings in 2015, even for recycled customers who received no conservation mandates. Overall, reference evapotranspiration and crop moisture index explained variance in water use while precipitation did not, signifying that smart controllers sensitive to rainfall could produce savings. By exploring the drivers of water demand for nonresidential irrigation, an understudied water use sector, this work can help utilities make informed decisions about future supply needs for both potable and recycled water infrastructure.
