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 m³ly. Assume annual demand growth is 2.8%. Calculate: (a) Water consumption per capita per day (gross and specific) (b) vvaler consumption rates (use Harmond formula for peak factor) (c) Calculate the demand in 25 years' time. (d) Calculate the required capacity of the pipe distribution system

A town uses water from a reservoir that holds 200 million L and is replenished at a rate of 60 million L a day. In 2020, the town used 46 million L per day, calculate the average water use per person per day. (Town population: 70,230)
Assume that a residential area has a water pipe leaking continuously at the rate of 1.5 litres/sec. Calculate the total volume of water in million cubic metres that will be lost through leakage during the month of December.
three reservoirs system in the figure contains water. L1 = 2000 m, f 1= 0.013, D1 = 1m L2 = 2300 m, f2 = 0.02, D2 = 0.60m L3 = 2500 m, f = 0.023, D3 = 1.20m what is Q2 in m3/s.
Consider one farmer using an aquifer. The volume of water in the aquifer is described by Xt+1 = Xt – Yt + Qt where Xt is the volume of water in period t, Yt is the extraction of water in period t and Qt is precipitation. The marginal net benefits of the farmer in each period are described by MNBt = 20 - Yt There are two periods. The amount of water in the first period is X0 = 7 and Q0 = 1.5. The farmer cannot use more water than available at the beginning of each period such that Yt ≤ Xt. With a discount rate of 10%, what is the efficient water use in the first period?
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.
