Accurately forecasting water consumption in the city of Springdale is of interest to the city as it seeks to proactively meet the increasing demands for water resources that may arise from potential visitation growth. This study focuses on forecasting water consumption in Springdale by analyzing different scenarios of visitation growth and capacities. Holt-Winters forecasting is considered and a Linear Regression model is applied for scenario analysis. Our results have implications that will allow the city to develop effective strategies to ensure the sustainable management and allocation of water resources, thereby supporting the continued growth and development of the community.
