Assignment 1

This document contains 4 questions related to water supply and urban drainage for a civil engineering assignment: 1. Estimate the population of a town in 2015 using arithmetic and geometric increase methods based on population data from 1944 to 1994. 2. Estimate the average and maximum daily water flows in 20 years for a city with a present population of 58,000 people and maximum daily use of 42 million liters. 3. Calculate the total water demand for a city excluding fire flow, given population, institutional/commercial areas, industrial areas, and water demand factors. 4. Determine the design capacity of a water treatment plant and distribution main to serve a small town until 2020, given population census records and water demand factors

Water Supply and Urban Drainage


1. The following data shows the variation in population of a town from 1944 to1994. Estimate the population of the city in the year 2015 by arithmetic and geometric increase methods. Year 194 1954 1964 1974 1984 1994 4 Populati 620 75000 10050 13500 17500 212000 on 00 0 0 0 2. A city with a present population of 58000 persons used a total of 9526500 m3 of water during the last 12 months. On the maximum day during that period 42000000 liters of water were used. Estimate the average and maximum daily flows to be expected in 20 years, when the population is estimated to be 72000. 3. A city of 40000 residents has an average per capita water demand of 150 l/c/d. The average size of institutional and commercial areas is 200 ha and that of industrial areas is 100 ha. The expected unit water demands are 20 m3/ha/d for institutional and commercial areas, and 15 m3/ha/d for industries. The public water demand and unaccounted for system losses are estimated to be 5 % and 15% of the total water demand, respectively. Calculate the total water demand, excluding fire flow. 4. The per capita water demand of a small town having population census records indicated in Table 1, is given by q = 150 99.6e-0.04t; where, q = per capita demand [l/c/d]; t is time in years starting from 1985.

Moreover, from historical water usage data the peaking factors for maximum day and peak hour water demands are estimated to be 175% and 250% of the average day demand, respectively. Determine a. The design capacity of a treatment plant if it is to serve the town until the end of 2020. b. The design capacity of the distribution main Use the Exponential method for population forecasting and assume a fire demand of 3 m /min.
