<br />. 0,00936 <br /> <br />population, growth in the service area is expected to be <br /> <br />divided about evenly between the cooler coastal areas, <br /> <br />( <br />I <br /> <br />where water demands tend to be less, and the hotter <br /> <br />inland areas, where water use tends to be higher. <br /> <br />Compared to historical trends however, the higher <br /> <br />relative growth rate in the inland areas is expected to <br /> <br />increase system-wide per-capita water use rates. <br /> <br />c. About two-thirds of the projected <br /> <br />population growth represents a natural increase in the <br /> <br />existing Southern California population. The remainder <br /> <br />is accounted for by net migration into the region. <br /> <br />2. ReHional water demands. Despite planned <br /> <br />widespread implementation of conservation programs (see <br /> <br />Section VI.A and VI.B), total water demands in <br /> <br />Metropolitan's service area, based on the most recent <br /> <br />C <br />"i,.:. <br /> <br />planning studies, are expected to increase from current <br /> <br />levels of about 4.0 MAF annually under normal weather <br /> <br />condi tions to 4.4 MAF by 2000 and 4.7 MAF by 2010.. <br /> <br />Under hot weather conditions, water demands will be even <br /> <br />higher. <br /> <br />3. Demands on Metropolitan. <br /> <br />a. Demands for imported water from <br /> <br />Metropolitan have increased from about 1.3 MAF during <br /> <br />1980 to projected demands of 2.5 MAF in 1990. <br /> <br />b.. Future annual demands for imported <br /> <br />water to meet residential, commercial, and industrial <br /> <br />water uses are expected to exceed 3.MAF by 2010. <br /> <br />B.
