This paper discusses how measurement of water savings that result from the adoptionof water conservation measures poses a difficult problem because the recorded water use during billing periods often show great variability among different users and it also varies in time. Although statistical modeling of water use can go a long way toward explaining the observed variability of use, the reliability of the estimates of water savings obtained from econometric models can be significantly improved by obtaining measurements of water use that are more precise than monthly or bimonthly billing records.
