I would like to include industrial water consumption in the demand site. My only data indicates that industrial water usage accounts for 30% of large cities and 10% of small and medium towns. How can I connect the industrial demand to the domestic demand for large cities and small/medium towns?
Thank you!

Amdom,
You could achieve this by building a new branch for "Industrial" within your existing demand site. In the data tree, right click on your demand site and click "Add" to create your branch for industrial. Note that if you have existing demand data in the parent branch, you may have to copy it and move it to a different branch first.
If you are using "Specify monthly/daily demand" (demand site method listed under the Advanced tab at the top right of the screen), then you can create the expression for monthly/daily demand by multiplying a factor to the other branch's demand ie. "agriculture *0.3". You'll just have to be careful with your arithmetic to make sure the total and the fractions add up to what you want.
If you are using "Specify yearly demand and monthly variation", then you can do the same as above, but with Annual Activity Level and Annual Water Use Rate. The way you set these up may depend on the type of units you're using.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you're still having any trouble.
