Implications of Urban Growth on Domestic Water Consumption： A Case Study of Jorhat Town, India

This paper tries to embraces the urban growth in Jorhat town and its implications on water consumption at household＇s level. Urban growth is measured through the increase in the number of population and the aerial extent. It is a pathetic situation for Jorhat residents in case of domestic water consumption that due to rapid increase of population in the town, the existing water supply systems cannot cope with the current demand. So, the people of the town always struggle to collect water from other sources such as River Bhogdoi, ponds, dug well, water vendor etc., moreover, try to satisfy the limited daily household needs. The methodology adopted in this paper is involved on both primary and secondary data. The primary data has been collected through household survey pertains to 600 households from each of 19 municipal wards in Jorhat town in both pre and post monsoon seasons. To highlight the growth of population and population projection, the compound rate of growth method has been used and it is tried to link with the future water demand in Jorhat town,

城市生活用水量的非线性动力学

根据Logistic方程建立了城市生活用水量的非线性动力学方程．研究了方程的2个稳定的不动点及其轨线图．通过分析发现系统演化过程中生活用水量优先趋向于其中的小者．在算例分析中,将动力学方法与多元线性回归方法进行了对比,结果表明,动力学方法具有更好的预测精度．分析验证的结果证明了城市生活用水系统演化过程中生活用水量优先趋向于2个不动点中小者的结论,该动力学方程能够很好地描述城市生活用水量的动力学演化规律．
