Also, the main contribution is the assessment of water consumption during a pandemic, proving information for management of water supply system in order to be resilient in challenging situation for the community. Methods : In this study, data on the water consumption by administrative subdivisions and uses were obtained from January 2018 to December 2020. The water consumption can be divided into the uses for household, office, business and public bath. Data were analyzed in a time series from 2018 to December 2020 in 35 administrative subdivisions. Results and Discussion : As a result of analyzing the consumption pattern of tap water by use in domestic J_city, the consumption of household water tends to increase slightly, but it is found that the trend of change in office, business and public bath water is not significant. Conclusion : It can be seen that the consumption of households in 2020 is slightly higher than in 2018 and 2019, and the consumption of water for business, business and public baths has decreased. Probably, as homework and non-face-to-face classes of students increase, consumption of household water increases and consumption of business and business water decreases.https://www.jksee.or.kr/journal/view.php?number=4337covid-19 pandemichouseholdofficebusinesspublic bath |

Objectives : The objective of this research is to evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic spread and prevention
actions are affecting water consumption pattern in the domestic small-medium sized city. Also, the main
contribution is the assessment of water consumption during a pandemic, proving information for management of
water supply system in order to be resilient in challenging situation for the community.
Methods : In this study, data on the water consumption by administrative subdivisions and uses were obtained
from January 2018 to December 2020. The water consumption can be divided into the uses for household, office,
business and public bath. Data were analyzed in a time series from 2018 to December 2020 in 35 administrative
subdivisions.
Results and Discussion : As a result of analyzing the consumption pattern of tap water by use in domestic
J_city, the consumption of household water tends to increase slightly, but it is found that the trend of change in
office, business and public bath water is not significant.
Conclusion : It can be seen that the consumption of households in 2020 is slightly higher than in 2018 and 2019,
and the consumption of water for business, business and public baths has decreased. Probably, as homework and
non-face-to-face classes of students increase, consumption of household water increases and consumption of
business and business water decreases. |
