Stephenson, from the Water Authority, said the agency shoots for a 2 to 3 percent disparity between their forecasts and smaller agencies.

The Water Authority uses an economic modeling tool developed by the Army Corps of Engineers to forecast its water demands, Stephenson said.

“We’re not using the exact same models so we probably won’t have the exact same numbers,” Stephenson said.

This is an admission from Stephenson that Trevithick's patent boiler was the best in use up to about 1828.
