Abstract
Water supplies, especially during periods of summer drought, are limited in the service areas of the Regional Municipality of Waterloo due to limitations on equipped well capacities and the physical condition of the wells between times of repair and rehabilitation. This situation is especially severe in the twin cities of Kitchener and Waterloo. In these cities, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo publishes a "Water Use Index" in numerical and graphical form during the summer months to inform water users as to the current state of water pumpage capability with respect to demand. The formulation of the index and practical aspects of its use are described.Keywords
