A community has an estimated population 20 years hence which is equal to 35,000. The present population is 28,000, and present average water consumption is 16 x 10° /day. The existing water treatment plant has a design capacity of 5 mgd. Assuming an arithmetic rate of population growth determine in what year the existing plant will reach its design capacity.

The present population of a community is 20,000 w ith an average w ater consumption of 4200 m³/day. The existing water treatment plant has design capacity of 6000 m3/day. It is expected that the population will increase to 44,000 during the next 20 years. The no. of years from now when the plant will reach its design capacity (Assuming an arithmetic rate of population growth).
Problem 1A 300-house residential development is proposed. Assume that each person uses 500 liters on average eachday. Suppose that four people live in each house. Calculate how many more liters of water per day onaverage that will need to be supplied.
A water distribution system serves a community that had populations of 85,002 and 200,002 in years 2000 and 2020, respectively, and the saturation population is estimated to be 70,000. (a) If the community is assumed to be in the declining-growth phase, estimate the population in the year 2032.
Assuming a factor of safety of 2, what will be the water demand when water consumption per capita is 3.7 litres/day in a community of 6000 people and the minimum water released from a reservoir is 150,000 litres?
Problem - 100 cm of precipitation fall each year on a 400 hectare farm. According to estimates, 20% of precipitation travels as runoff to the nearest watercourse and 40% of precipitation evaporates back into the atmosphere. The aquifer receives the remaining precipitation by percolation. All through the year, the aquifer is used to extract water for irrigation. Approximately 80% of the groundwater that is removed eventually evaporates. Determine how much groundwater recharge—measured in cubic meters—can be taken out annually for irrigation without dwindling the groundwater supply.
A city of 40000 residents has an average per capita water demand of 150 l/c/d. The average size of institutional and commercial areas is 200 ha and that of industrial areas is 100 ha. The expected unit water demands are 20 m3 /ha/d for institutional and commercial areas, and 15 m3 /ha/d for industries. The public water demand and unaccounted for system losses are estimated to be 5 % and 15% of the total water demand, respectively. Calculate the total water demand, excluding fire flow
Assume that the average water usage of the Ermelo community is approximately 130 litres per person per day. After the municipality implemented water saving practices, the average water usage dropped to 87 litres per person per day. A 10 mega litres per day (MLD) wastewater treatment plant is used for which 60% of the flow is residential wastewater. Calculate the water savings in litres per day (L/day) and the percent reduction in water usage
A water supply company has delivered an annual quantity of 120,000,000 m3 (including leakage) to a city of 1.2 million inhabitants with a mixed industrial-Commercial- residential city in South Africa. The total floor area of an office complex building (non-combustible construction, C = 0.8) is 30 000 m2. The leakage from the system estimated at 20% of the total supply, and billed non-domestic consumption of 25 million m3/y. Assume annual demand growth is 2.8%.
Determine the five-day irrigation demand for corn (Kc = 1.15) in m³/ ha if the actual crop evapotranspiration is = 0.28 in per day
No wrong answer please. A city with population of 49 x 103 capita in a period of 27 years in advance. The current population is 25 x 103 capita with a daily water consumption of 21 x 103 m³/d. The current and existing water treatment plant (WTP) has design capacity (maximum) of 49 x 103 m/d. Using the arithmetic method in estimating the population of this city, find for how many years will this plant reach its design capacity.
The current population of a community is 40,000 capita, and the expected futurepopulation after 25 years is 100,000 capita. The current maximum monthly design flow is 10,000m3/day. An existing water treatment plant (WTP) has a maximum capacity (i.e., Qmax) of 15,000m3/d. Assume an arithmetic population increase rate, determine when the plant needs to beexpanded.
A planned community has a population of 63,000 people and is growing at 8.5% per decade. What is the likely average daily water demand 20 years from now? What are the annual water requirements for the city? What is fire demand? Assume the annual average per capita demand of 425 L/C-d and the . What would be the capacity that should be used for the distribution system? The monthly, weekly, daily and hourly max factors are 1.2, 1.4, 1.8 and 2.7, respectively.
