Adapted from Dufor and Becker, 1962. <br /> <br />2. Howe, Russell, and Young, 1970. <br /> <br />3. Wallman, Undated. <br /> <br />Per capita demand for indoor water has increased over the <br /> <br />last several d~cades due to the spread of new water-using devices <br /> <br />such as dishwashers, garbage disposais, and automatic washing <br /> <br />machines. In addition, increasingly affiuent lifestyles have led <br /> <br />to increased use of water for bath ing and cieaning. The future <br /> <br />trend in demand for indoor water is difficult to predict. On the <br /> <br />one hand, as more dishwashers and garbage disposals are used, <br /> <br />demand is expected to increase. Conversely, demand is expected <br /> <br />to decline in response to conservation education for consumers. <br /> <br />5 <br />
