Water demand refers to the total amount of water used by customers within a water system. An average person consumes 5-8 liters of water per day. There are different types of water demands including residential, institutional, public/civic, industrial, and water system losses. Factors like city size, presence of industries, climatic conditions, water quality, pressure in distribution systems, and type of water supply system can affect the rate of water demand. Demand peaks in the summer and also sees hourly and seasonal variations. Water conservation is important for life preservation.

used by the customers within the water system. * The water demanded by a people of community for their daily uses, is known a water demand for a water supply scheme. * Average person consumes no more 5 to 8 lit. Of water per day. * However total water drawn from public water supply is quite high. TYPES OF WATER DEMANDS: * Residential or Domestic * Institutional use * Public or Civic * Industrial use * Water system loses 1. DOMESTIC USE
* Water is needed for
- Drinking - Cooking - Bathing - Washing of clothes - Washing of utensils - Washing of house Water requirement for domestic purposes 2.INSTITUTIONAL USE
* Water is needed for
- Drinking - Cooking - Bathing - Washing of clothes - Washing of utensils - Washing of house 3.PUBLIC OR CIVIC
- Road washing : 5 lit/cap/day
- Sanitation : 3 to 5 lpcd - Public parks : 2 to 3 lpcd - Fire fighting : calculated by various formula - P : population in thousands - Q : quantity of water in lit/min - F : number of simultaneous fire stream - Road washing : 5 lit/cap/day - Sanitation : 3 to 5 lpcd - Public parks : 2 to 3 lpcd - Fire fighting : calculated by various formula - P : population in thousands - Q : quantity of water in lit/min - F : number of simultaneous fire stream 4. INDUSTRIAL USE
* Water is needed for
- Drinking - Cooking - Bathing - Washing of clothes - Washing of utensils - Washing of house 5. WATER SYSTEM LOSES
* leakages and overflow from reservoirs.
* leakages from main and service pipe connection. * leakages and losses on consumers premises. * leakages and losses from public taps. Factors affecting rate of demand - Size of the City : per capita demand for big cities is generally large as compared to that for smaller towns as big cities have severed houses.
- Presence of Industries : more the Industries
more will be the water required.
- Climatic Condition : in winter seasons lesser
water demand & in summer seasons water demand is more. - Quality of water : If water is aesthetically and midically safe, the consumption will increase as people will not resort to private wells, etc.
- Pressure in the distribution system : more
pressure more will be the demand and visce versa.
- System of supply : continuous system
increase water use whereas intermittent system. SEASONAL VARIATION
* The demands peaks
during summer,Firebreak outs are generally more in summer, increasing demand. So thre is seasonal variation. HOURLY VARIATION
