“…The majority of existing research on urban water demand management have focused on the residential sector, for example, demand forecasting (Adamowski et al, 2012;Bougadis et al, 2005;Donkor et al, 2012;Ghiassi et al, 2017;Ren and Li, 2016), demand modelling (Gurung et al, 2014;Jacobs and Haarhoff, 2004), general demand management (Kenney et al, 2008), and water usage management interventions (Datta et al, 2015;Dernoncourt and Lee, 2016;Fielding et al, 2012). There is limited research on the water demand in the non-residential or educational sectors despite the fact that these sectors can be high water consumers (Sánchez-Torija et al, 2017). Moreover, although historic water usage data has been used in several studies to model water usage patterns, there are several influential factors including socio-economic, political and climatic variables that have not been specifically taken into consideration (Botai et al, 2017;Donkor et al, 2012;Enqvist and Ziervogel, 2019;Muller, 2018;Scheba and Millington, 2018).…”
