Abstract
The newly formed Metropolitan North
Georgia Water Planning District (District) is assessing
the water supply, wastewater and watershed
management needs for a 16-county area including
metropolitan Atlanta. Over the next 30 years, the
District is expecting close to a 100 percent increase in
population, from about four million to nearly eight
million people. The amount of potable water supply
needed was determined through the use of a water
demand-forecasting model, the Least Cost Planning
Decision Support System (DSS). Water conservation
measures were added to the model to determine their
potential effectiveness and select measures appropriate
for the District to implement.
