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 wrongarrow_forward
- 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%.arrow_forwardDetermine the five-day irrigation demand for corn (Kc = 1.15) in m³/ ha if the actual crop evapotranspiration is = 0.28 in per dayarrow_forwardConsider 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?arrow_forward

If the average K=35 liters per second per hectare, compute the number of hectare-millimeters of water that flow vertically downward to the water table each month.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is incorrect? An energy budget can be based on historical data, although this is usually unsatisfactory There is no standard formula for to calculate electricity costs The electricity consumption of air-conditioning can comprise of 80%-90% of the load of a building Economic cycle operation refers to the use of favourable environmental conditionsarrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardThe population of the Cuba doubled in the last 5 years from 2000 to 2005. Assuming the rate of population increase will remain the same, in what year will the population triple ?arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forward
