WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS.
A)WATER SUPPLY SOURCES. HYDROLOGICAL STUDIES

NATURAL SOURCES:
Aquifers (Groundwater)
• Porous consolidated rock or
unconsolidated soil
• Groundwater fills spaces
• Wells and pumps used to remove
water
Surface Water
• Lakes, reservoirs, rivers
• Rivers dammed to create reservoirs

rain/snow
ARTIFICIAL SOURCES

Existing cisterns
• Existing wells
• Existing tanks

B) Water demand and forecasting

Uses of fresh water:

a) Household:
• 50‐200 l/hb.day.
• 50% of the total supplies.
b) Comercial: stores, hotels, offices)
c) Industrial
d) Public Buildings: schools, libraries, etc.
e) Municipal facilities:
• administration,
• gardens,
• street cleaning,
• sports center,
• Markets
f) Losses: may be an important value. Old networks,
maintenance may be
expensive.
