1.2. Water Demand
Estimation of demand for water is the key parameter in planning a water supply scheme, The agriculture
sector consumes more than 80 percent of total waler potential created in our country. The remaining portion is
utilized to meet domestic, industrial and other demands,
The improvement in life-style and associaled industial development of a nation push up the per capita
demand for water
1.3 Various Types of Water Demand
1.3.1 DomesticWater Demand
w
‘The total domestic water consumption usually amounts to 50 to 60% of the total water consumption.
‘The L.S. Code lays down a limit of water consumption between 135 to 225 litre per capita per day
(pea),
Under ordinary conditions (as per |.S. code) the minimum domestic water demand for a town or a
city with full flushing system should be taken at 200 [ped. Although it can be reduced to 135 ped for
economically weaker sections and LIG colonies (Low Income Group) depending upon prevailing
conditions.

‘© The water requirements of institutions such as hospitals, hotels, restaurants, schools and colleges,
rallway station etc, should also be assessed and provided for in addition to domestic and industria
water demands discussed above,
* Onan average, a per capita demand of 20 Iped is usually considered to be enough to meet such
‘commercial and institutional water requirements. Although this demand may be as high as 50 locd
for highly commercialised cities.

1.3.4 Demand for Public Uses
This includes water requirement for parks, gardening, washing of roads etc. On this account a nominal
amount not exceeding 5% of the total consumption may be provided,
135. FireDemand
+ The quantity of water required for extinguishing fire is not very large, the total amount of water
consumption for a city of 50 lakh population hardly amounts to 1 Iped. But this water should be
easily available and kept always stored in storage reservoirs.
‘+ Three jet streams are simultaneously thrown from each hydrant; one on the burning property, and
one each on adjacent property on either sides of the burning property. The discharge of each stream
should be about 1100 litres/minute,
‘+ The minimum water pressure available at fire hydrants should be of the order of 1 to 1.5 kg/cm? and
should be maintained even after 4 to § hours of constant use of fire hydrant.
Rate of fire demand is worked out by following formulas

2. ClimaticConditions
Athotter and dry places, the consumption of wateris generally more, because more of bathing, clearing,
alr-coolers, ait-conditioning etc. are involved. Similarly, in extremely cold countries, more water may be consumed,
because the people may keep thelr taps open to avoid freezing of pipes and there may be more leakage from
pipe joints since metals contract with cold
3. Typesof Gentry and Habits of People
Rich and upper class communities generally consume more water due to their affluent living standards
4. Industrial and Commercial A
ies
The pressure of industrial and commercial activities at a particular place increase the water consumption
by large amount.
5. Quality of Water Supplies
I the quality and taste of the supplied water is good, it wll be consumed more, because in that case,
people will not use other sources such as private wells, hand pumps, etc. Similarly, certain industries such as
boiler feeds, etc., which require standard quality waters will not develop their own supplies and will use public
supplies, provided the suppliod water is upto their required standards.
6. _Pressurein the Distribution Systems
I the pressure in the distribution pipes is high and sufficient to make the water reach at 2 or even 4
storage, water consumption shall be definitely more.
This water consumption increases because of two reasons:
(People living in upper storage will se water freely as compared to the case when water is available
scarcely to them,
(i) The losses and waste due to leakage are considerably increased if their pressure is high. For
example, ifthe pressure increase trom 20 m head of water (i.e. 200 kN/m?) to 30 m head of water
(ie. 300 kN/m?), the losses may go up by 20 to 30 percent
7. Development of Sewerage Facilities
The water consumption will be more, ifthe city is provided with ‘flush system’ and shall be less ifthe old
‘conservation system of latrines is adopted
8. System of Supply
Water may be supplied either continuously for all 24 hours of the day, or may be supplied only for
peak period during moming and evening. The second system, i.e. intermittent supplies, may lead to some
saving in water consumption due to losses occurring for lesser time and a more vigilant use of water by the
consumers,
9. Costof Water
{ the water rales are high, lesser quantity may be consumed by the people. This may not lead to large
savings as the affluent and rich people are little affected by such policies.
10. Policy of Metering and Method of Charging
When the supplies are metered, people use only that much of water as much is required by them.
Although metered supplies are preferred because of lesser wastage, they generally lead to lesser water
consumption by poor and low income group, leading to unhygienic conditions.6 Civil Engineering psc MADE EASY
Factors Affecting Losses and Wastes: The various factors on which losses depend and the measure
to control them are below:
() Water Tight Joints, (i) Pressure in the Distribution system
(ii) System of supply (iv) Metering
(¥)_ Unauthorized connections
NOTE = In intermittent supply system, water is generally stored by consumers in tanks,
ry ‘drums etc, for non-supply periods. This water is thrown away by them even iftunutilised
28 s00n as the lish suppl is restored. This increase the wastage and losses
considerably.
= Cost of water is inversely proportional to consumption of water.
= Theloss of wastes due to leakage are considerably increased if pressure is high.
1.42 Variation in the demand
Smaller towns have more variation in the demand, The shorter the period of draft, the greater is the
departure from the mean.
