Modeling of water consumption per capita in Kashan as an Iranian desert area with a view to Global warming

Abstract

AbSTRAcT there was a meaningful relation between liter per consumption day (Lpcd) and temperature during modeling of water consumption. the linear regression showed that the relation between Lpcd and the min and max temperature was strong and positive (r>0.8, P<0.001), while the relation between Lpcd and precipitation was weak and negative (r = -0.153 and P<0.001). the multivariate regression model for Lpcd prediction was derived from weather conditions (r 2 Adjusted = 0.793). Key words : Desert area, global warming, Kashan, Lpcd, weather condition
