Abstract
This chapter addresses the water supply issue from the consumers’ point of view, whereas the previous chapter was written for the engineer, economist or planner concerned with establishing water supply. It also assists in establishing a pricing policy. Demand management refers to the control of use of water, but equally well requires consumer interaction rather than autocratic imposition of a supply rate or price.
