To design Water supply system it is necessary to determine the total demand in a day/month/
year.
Certain Empirical formula and thumb rules are employed in determining the water demand which
is nearby to the actual demand.
Types of Demand
Domestic
Commercial and Industrial
Fire demand
Public uses
Compensate losses
Water Demand
Example :
Moderate fire break out
3 jet streams simultaneously thrown from each hydrant
Each stream discharge is abount 1100 liters/min
City population 45lakh
If 6 fire break out in a day, each fire stands for 3 hrs,
Water requirement is calculated Q = 6 X 1100X 3 X 60 X 3 = 35,64,000 litres/day
Amount of water required per person will be 3564000/4500000 = less than 1 litre/person
Public use demand
