Population Estimation
Water Demand Calculation
Population Prediction
• Population calculation should be made for each zones, i.e.
Residential, Administrative, Industrial, Common Services.
• For the residential zone proper considerations should be
made in calculating family size and accommodation size of
different staff members.
• The assumptions (% of worker/staff staying inside or outside
the village) should be clearly stated for each calculation.
• Future population calculation should be made with a set of
assumptions on increase of population in different zones of
the village.
• For the administrative, industrial, and common service zones
proper considerations should be made for calculating the
number of staffs working.
Water Consumption/Demand
• Water demand/requirement can be classified as:
– Residential water demand.
– Industrial water demand.
– Administrative water demand.
– Water demand for common services.
– Water demand for fire fighting.
Assumptions:
Only one fire incidence occurs per day
Each station/ facility should be served by two fire hydrants at
a time
Nozzle diameter of the hydrant is 3 inches (2r)
Velocity of water in the pipe is 3 fps (V)
Each hydrant will supply water for 30 minutes (t)
We know, Q = A x V
Where, A = Area of the pipe (ᴫr2)
V = Velocity of water
Q = Discharge of each hydrant
