A generic mathematical model for estimating water consumption in residential premises / Nur Sahirah Rosli, Nurul Nuratikah Zainal and Sakinah Mohd. Jamal
Modelling domestic water usage involves several components of water usage activities. Therefore, in general, the model consists several different variables depending on the water usage activities that are performed by the household. This leads to difficulties in estimating domestic water usage by us...
