This study aimed: (a) to determine the general water balance at the Upstream and Midstream of Bengawan Solo Watershed by using Thornthwaite-Mather model, and (b) to determine the fulfillment of domestic water demand in the Upstream and Midstream of Bengawan Solo Watershed. Prevailing climate change has affected the condition of water source in Upstream and Midstream of Bengawan Solo Watershed. One of the impacts was extreme fluctuation of meteorological water availability that might cause flood and drought. Survey was selected as the research method while descriptive quantitative method was used for data analysis. The findings indicated the difference between precipitation and corrected evapotranspiration (P-EP) at the Upstream and Midstream of Bengawan Solo Watershed was between (-11.19 mm) to (78.56 mm). The highest value was obtained by Bambang Sub-watershed and the lowest was Wiroko Temon Sub-watershed. Positive value indicated the water surplus while negative value indicated water deficit. Domestic water demand for local communities was in the range of 50,782,500 liters to 131,690,700 liters, and the level of water availability varied, namely fulfilled and unfulfilled.

Abstract : Tukad Penet is one of the biggest rivers in Bali which is used to support farming and fresh water demand. The increasing of water demand in various sectors such as for irrigation and drink water recently using water from Yeh Penet source shows the over use of its water has caused some conflicts between the use of the water user for irrigation and another use. Therefore, it was needed to review the use of Yeh Penet water to see how big the potential of its water that could be exploited to support the water source demand. The optimal analysis of water usage was carried out in six regional irrigation (DI) used Penet river water such as DI Peneng, DI Kacangan, DI Luwuscarang Sari, DI Penarungan, DI Kapal and DI Munggu. This analysis was based on cropping, planting and water management as well as a maximum water raw demand of the regional company of drinking water (PDAM) in Tabanan and Badung regency. Based on the simulation result, water availability in each irrigation regional (DI) depended on the cropping and planting. It was needed to provide the planting and rotation system for some irrigation regionals in river fluctuation discharge. The deficit of irrigation water balance occurred in DI Peneng, DI Luwuscarang sari, and DI Kacangan. The optimal use of irrigation water in the third irrigation regional was carried out by using planting stimulation and water management. The water balance analysis result at watershed in the part of downstream Penet watershed showed the availability of water surplus occurred in alternative plan I and II. The water balance analysis showed water availability in alternative plan I of a minimum 0.04 million m3 and maximum 1.43 million m3, whereas in alternative plan II the wasted water availability of a maximum 0.25 million m3 and a maximum 1.51 million m3. The potential development of Penet watershed in alternative plan I was 0.67 million m3 (0.52 m3/sec) and in alternative plan II was 0.76 million m3 (0.58 m3/sec) was not able to support the total water demand in Badung and Tabanan regency. Besides, the water source development of Penet watershed only occurred in downstream part of Yeh Penet river to avoid some conflicts of water utilization in Penet watershed.

<p>The fulfillment of water demands needs to consider climate variability impacts on water availability. A seasonal change from wet to dry may have a negative impact on water availability leading to water scarcity for domestic purposes. Therefore, information on water condition until sub-district level is important. We did water balance approach to analyze water condition especially during dry season in Malang district, East Java for period 2007-2016. Our results showed that several sub-districts faced a serious problem with water deficit condition. During dry season, an increased domestic water demand was not supported by water availability, which caused some villages could not provide basic water for domestic purposes. Further, the research may contribute to support mitigation and adaptation strategy for climate extreme in the region.</p>

A panel of aggregate data from Spain is used to estimate domestic water demand functions under linear and non-linear tariffs. The use of intra-annual European data constitutes an innovative contribution. The average price per unit of water sold is compared with other price specifications that have been suggested to analyze aggregate data. Average-price elasticity estimates lie between -0.51 and -0.67 and are substantially larger than marginal-price elasticity estimates. Elasticities appear inversely correlated to the size of free allowances covered by minimum charges. Climatic variables seem to affect use, although less than in wealthier and drier areas.

Water balance is an estimate of the availability and needs of water in a watershed area. The water balance is very important considering the human need for water resources is a major requirement. The purpose of this study includes; (1) Analyzing the distribution of the influence of rainfall observation stations in each of the Ciliman sub-watersheds, (2) Analyzing the mainstay discharge in each Ciliman sub-watershed, and (3) Analyzing the potential availability of raw water in the Ciliman watershed. The types of data used in this study are secondary data including: (1) monthly rainfall data from 4 rainfall observation stations included in the Ciliman watershed, (2) climatological data from BMKG Taktakan Serang Station in 1998-2015, (3) Map of Watershed Ciliman and (4) Population data. Data analysis methods used include; regional rainfall analysis, analysis of water availability (evapotranspiration analysis, Mock model analysis), and analysis of water requirements. The results of the analysis showed that the highest rainfall occurred in January, and the lowest rainfall occurred in August. Overall, the water available in the Ciliman watershed is sufficient with the peak occurring at the beginning and end of the year. Water availability is estimated based on surface water discharge, where peak discharge occurs in January and minimum discharge occurs in August. The water balance in general in the Ciliman watershed is quite high with the highest water debit of 61.75 m3/s occurring in March and the lowest (minimum) discharge around 5.26 m3/s in August. The total water requirement for the Ciliman watershed area is 38.86 m3/s, consisti of; Water demand for irrigation is the highest water requirement reaching 37.96 m3 s with a total irrigated area reaching 5,423 hectares. Domestic water needs are 0.48 m3/s with a total population of 314,524 people served. Water requirements for industry are 0.000040 m3/s or relatively relatively small. While the water demand for the Tanjung Lesung Special Economic Zone is 0.42442 m3/s.

Abstract Water is one of the sources of human life. Population growth continues to increase and results in higher utilization of water sources. This will certainly affect the availability of water in the city of Yogyakarta. Water balance is a comparison between the water availability potential and the water demand of a place in a certain period. Water balance analysis is useful for knowing the amount of excess water (surplus) or lack of water (deficit) so that water use can be managed as well as possible. The calculation was done by analyzing the 10-year rainfall data using the Thiessen Polygon method to obtain the mean rainfall value. The available debit was calculated using the F.J. Mock method. The dependable discharge was calculated with 80% reliability from the 10-year debit data. The debit data was sorted from the largest to the smallest value, so that a probability value of 80% was obtained from the interpolation of the data sequence. Water demand was calculated based on the irrigation planning standard (KP-01). The results of the study show that the average water availability in the sub-watershed of Code River Yogyakarta was 527.92lt/sec. Based on the results of the analysis, the highest water deficit occurred in the first October at 278.40 l/sec and the lowest deficit was in the second July at 73.01 l/sec. However, the availability of water in certain months was quite abundant. Therefore, it is necessary to do a special study so that water is not wasted and can be used to cover water shortages in dry months.

In urban water provisioning, prices can improve efficiency, contributing to the achievement of the environmental objective. However, household responses to price changes differ widely based on the household characteristics. Analyses performed at the aggregate level ignore the implications of water demand incentives at the individual household level. A large data sample at the household level enables estimation of econometric models of water demand, capturing the heterogeneity in domestic consumption. This study estimated the domestic water demand in the city of Valencia and its elasticity, along with the demands of its different districts and neighbourhoods (intra-urban scale analysis). Water price structure in Valencia is completely different from that of other Spanish cities: it is a price structure of increasing volume (increasing rate tariffs, IRT). For this estimation, from a microdata panel at the household level, the demand function with average prices for the period 2008–2011 was estimated using panel data techniques including a fixed effect for each neighbourhood. The domestic water demand elasticity at the average price in Valencia was estimated at −0.88 (which is higher than that estimated for other Spanish cities). This value indicates an inelastic demand at the average price of the previous period, which can cause consumers to overestimate the price and react more strongly to changes.
