Water Demand Calculation

Input Data POPULATION Person 1,500.00
Gallons per capita day Gal/(person da 66.05 250 Lt./DayPerson
1. Average daily water demand
Average community daily water demand =
Average daily water demand Number of people = GPD ### 375.00 m3/day

2. Maximum Water Demand

Maximum daily water demand = GPD ### 675.00
1.8 (Average community daily water demand)

Maximum hourly water demand takes into account the daily cycles of water.
Maximum hourly water demand =
3 (Average community daily water demand)
GPD ### 1,125.00
Note :
While the maximum daily water demand is used to size the treatment facility,
the maximum hourly water demand should be used to size the distribution system.
The distribution system should be of an adequate size to carry Max. Hourly w. demand

3. Fire Flow
The fire flow is calculated as follows:
Fire flow (gpm) = 1020 *( P/1000)^0.5 * ( 1- GPM 1,233.94
Where "P" is the population in 1,000's of people.

4. Total Flow
Total flow = Maximum daily water demand + GPD ###
Note that I converted the fire flow value from gpm to MGD to match
the maximum daily water demand units.
5. Duration of Fire Flow
Duration = Fire Flow /1000 Hours 1

6. Storage Capacity for Fire Flow

Capacity = Fire flow Duration Gal. 91,356.44
The storage tank must thus have a fire flow capacity of
, added to any other required volumes (for chemical contact time, emergency use, etc.)

 Fire Flow

Calculating Fire Flow in accordance with population no.

The fire flow is calculated as follows: Population pers. 1,500

Fire flow (gpm) = 1020* P ( 1-0.01 P ) = Fire Flow (Q )= GPM 1,234

Where "P" is the population in 1,000's of people.

Duration of Flow ( Hours ) = Fire Flow (GPM) / 1000 = hours 1

Storage Tank Volume for fire

The required storage capacity for fire flow is calculated as follows:

Capacity = Fire flow (GPM) Duration (min) = gal 91,356

The storage tank must thus have a fire flow capacity of GAL. 91,356
To be added to any other required volumes (for chemical contact time, emergency use, etc.)
