The actual demand for water in the basin is 10 m 3 /s with forecasted demand at 14 m 3 /s. Availability should not be an issue as the regulated flow is 26 m 3 /s and treatment capacity is 17.25 m 3 /s. EPM values put demand as low as 6 m 3 /s varying greatly from UNC estimates. Per capita water consumption is approximately 211 L/day. [2]
