摘要
The demand for water in the Johannesburg area is strongly influenced by inter-annual rainfall variability mainly toward the end of the rainfall season. During the winter and early part of the rainfall season, water demand is largely unaffected by rainfall variability. The relationship is strongest from about February to May and in November, when water demand decreases with both rainfall and number of rain days. The development of skilful seasonal rainfall forecasts could provide useful indications of expected water consumption in the Johannesburg region.
