AbstractWe model water consumption in the market segment that compose the Qatari water market. We link water consumption to population growth. Building on the estimated model, we develop long-range forecasts of water consumption from 2018 to 2030 over different scenarios for the population driver. In addition, we proxy for water efficiency improvements by reducing the long - run elasticity of water consumption to population. We show that the efficient use of water has a crucial role in controlling the future evolution of water consumption. Water conservation policies should consider this aspect and we call for the implementation of water efficiency improvement program
