Assessing Densification Impacts on Water Demandhttps://metrovancouver.org/about-us/sustainability-innovation-fund/project/20Assessing Densification Impacts on Water DemandUrban planning & transportationComplete<div class="ExternalClass29382D60005D416790F3716DD97E6112"><p>This project provides a broader understanding of the evolution of growth in the region and its impacts on water use. As residential population density increases, corresponding shifts in water use are expected. The primary objectives of this project were to assess the impacts of urban densification and other smart growth strategies on water use.<br></p></div><div class="ExternalClassFEA6C78806524DF6821FA44DC934CEE6"><p>It is projected that by 2040, the majority of the residential development will be multi-family homes which have much less irrigable area compared to single-family detached homes. This densification will decrease outdoor per capita water use. Indoor water usage on a per capita basis is not anticipated to be significantly affected by densification.​<br></p></div>GP0|#a32072f3-3cb5-4837-85d6-14428be3d19c;L0|#0a32072f3-3cb5-4837-85d6-14428be3d19c|Water;GTSet|#ab8a80a3-ac09-4cde-99c1-454c04cb5931BC Lower Mainland2017<div class="ExternalClassDD75808A99FB485BA079A732DFBD8B6C"><ul class="fa-ul"><li> <span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-light fa-link"></i></span> <a href="/services/water/water-sources-supply" target="_blank" title="Water Sources and Supply">Water Sources and Supply</a> <br></li><li> <span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-light fa-link"></i></span> <a href="/services/water/planning-for-future-water-supply" target="_blank" title="Planning for Future Water Supply">Planning for Future Water Supply</a> <br></li><li> <span class="fa-li"><i class="fa-light fa-link"></i></span> <a href="/welovewater" target="_blank" title="We Love Water">We Love Water</a> <br></li></ul></div>
