Abstract: Water is known as an important resource. Many factors influencing the water consumption, identifying the factors influencing the water consumption is an active area of research work. This research aims at studying the relationship among the climatic variables such as rainfall and temperature & its influence on water consumption using regression technique. For this purpose rainfall, maximum and minimum temperature and water consumption data were collected on monthly basis and it is divided into two parts training and testing. Model performance is evaluated using correlation coefficient (CC), Prediction error (PE), Root mean square error (RMSE) and Accuracy. From the result it is cleared that regression technique can be used effetely for the prediction purpose and rainfall and temperature variables is influences the water consumption

Keywords: Rainfall, Temperature, Water consumption, Regression technique
