Abstract
The estimation of water demand for urban water supply can be a complex procedure. Depending on project requirements, it shall achieve a sufficiently high degree of precision to enable sound-resource-use planning at multiple levels. This paper demonstrates the application of the Component-Based Methodology for the Metropolitan Aqueduct of Mérida, Venezuela. Several considerations are raised for planners within hydrological agencies as well as design engineers in general.
