本文提出的需求管理分析框架基于最终用途会计。该系统有助于对终端用户的现有和未来需求进行广泛分析，包括评估被动、主动和应急需求管理措施的节水效果。然而，为了将该框架应用到规划实践中，有必要改变目前需求建模研究的方向，将更多的研究集中在建模端- 使用需求。强化的需求管理技术将使水资源规划师能够通过选择需求侧和供应侧替代方案的最低成本组合，缩小基线用水预测与正常供应源产量之间的预计差距，以及平衡长期抗旱替代方案的投资成本与未来干旱期间应对水短缺的预期成本。

The analytical framework of demand management proposed here is based on end-use accounting. This system can facilitate an extensive analysis of the existing and future demands of end users, including estimations of water savings from passive, active, and emergency demand management measures. However, in order to implement this framework into planning practice applications, it is necessary to change the direction of the present demand modeling research by focusing more investigations on modeling end-use demands. The enhanced know-how on demand management will allow water planners to close the projected gap between baseline water use forecasts and normal yields of supply sources by selecting a least cost combination of demand-side and supply-side alternatives, as well as by balancing the investment cost of long-term drought protection alternatives with the expected costs of coping with water shortages during future droughts.
