A Probabilistic Short-Term Water Demand Forecasting Model Based on the Markov Chain

This paper proposes a short-term water demand forecasting method based on the use of the Markov chain. This method provides estimates of future demands by calculating probabilities that the future demand value will fall within pre-assigned intervals covering the expected total variability.
