In accordance with geographic location, the datasuch as weather and economic situations arecombined. Study limitations included the following:limitations of interpretation - therecan be more potential factors, such ashistorical data, institutional pressureon water rate setting, or organizationalculture; and,imitation of generalization - small sizeof data.
