This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of the presentation objectives that include the following: define geographic considerations in demand planningand management;provide an example of geospatial data processing andmodeling from Tampa Bay Water; and,identify benefits (and costs) of using geospatialapproaches. Results and benefits include the following:geospatial aggregation provides benefits;more data to model/analyze(but not overwhelming amount);greater resolution in demand relationships;greater precision of and more confidence inelasticity estimates;built a finer-scale familiarity with service area;more detailed knowledge about regional demand;more detailed understanding of demographic trendsacross area; and,visualization is helpful, but underlying database isfundamental, data management critical.
