Question
Estimate roughly the size of a supply conduit leading to an adequate distributing reservoir serving () relatively small residential
community of 10.000 people, (i) a relatively large industrial community of 400.000 people
The following are the design conditions specifically for a North American. reg on
100 gpcd (378.5 Lpcd).
a.
The average daily water consumption for small communities with populations of 10.000 or less =
b.
Average daily water consumption for communities with populations of greater than 400.000 or less = 150 gpcd (567.8 Lpcd).
C.
Maximum daily water consumption is about 50% greater than aerage daily water consumption. The design water velocity in
the circular conduit when flowing full = 4 ft/s = 1.22 m/s.
