A water supply reservoir has an annual capacity of 27,000 acre-feet. The present population is 55,000, which is expected to increase to 120,000 in 20 years. In how many years will the city's needs exceed the reservoir's capacity? Assume arithmetic population growth and an average daily draft from the reservoir of 155 gallons per person. Disregard losses.

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%.
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.
A reservoir is proposed for a city’s water supply. It has been sized so that wet season flows can be saved to provide water in the dry season. The population of 100,000 and the economic activity in the city are stable – no substantial change is expected for the next 20 years. The per capita water demand was taken to be 300 liters/person/day, and it does not change by the time of year. Based on 30 years of historical river flow data and the projected monthly demand for the next 20 years, it is estimated that a storage equal to 4 months of demand is adequate. a) What is the storage capacity of the reservoir? b) The capital cost of providing the storage is $20/m3, and the annual operating and maintenance cost is 5% of the capital cost. The maximum the residents are willing to pay for the water is $2/m3. What is the projected rate of return on this investment over the 20 years project plan.
A city has 3,400,000 capita and current domestic demand is 185 liter/capita/day. The population average increase is 20,000 capita per decade; and the increase is also estimated as 1.35%. The average consumption of water increases by 22% in summer and decreases by 18% in winter. There are industrial and commercial activities in this city. Forecast future population by two methods. Calculate the average domestic demand for this city after 50 years in normal, summer and winter days. Estimate the firefighting demand. Then calculate total average water demand. Finally determine the maximum hourly and maximum daily demands.
(c) In a residential area of 250, 000 people, the specific water demand is estimated at 150 l/c/d which includes leakage.(i) Evaluate demand in 20 years if the assumed annual demand growth is 2.5 %.(ii) Applying both the linear and exponential models in estimating water demand.

A water treatment plant in a city is to be upgraded to meet the needs of the population in the year 2025, and the water distribution system is to be expanded to meet the needs of the population in the year 2045 or 2055. The 2010-population of the city was 225000, and based on a saturation population of 2,500,000, the 2070-population is estimated to be 420000. Estimate, using decreasing rate of increase method, the city's population in 2025, 2045 and 2055 to facilitate the design of these systems. Don't attempt wrong
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 dam is being considered to reduce river flooding. But if a dam is built, what height should it be? Increasing the dam’s height will (1) reduce a flood’s probability, (2) reduce the damage when floods occur, and (3) cost more. Which dam height minimizes the expected total annual cost? The state uses an interest rate of 5% for flood protection projects, and all the dams should last 50 years.
