A small village is located near a stream which is to be used asthe source of water supply for
the community. The minimum flow in the stream is 550 m3/h. Thepopulation analysis
reveals that the population is expected to increase linearlyfrom a population of 10,000 in
2008 to 30,000 in 2058.
The water consumption of the community is estimated to reach anannual average demand
of 300 L/capita/day, a maximum daily demand of 1.8 times theannual average and peak
hourly demand of 1.5 times the daily average.
Would you be able to supply these demands directly from thestream? If not, what would
you recommend?
