Based on the water demand table, the daily water demand for each type of
development is 400,500litres,10,000liters, and 10,000 for Double- storey houses,
kindergaden, and surau respectively.

The cumulative daily water demand is the total of all development, which is
420,500liters/day.

Average flow (Qavg) = Total Water demand = 420,500 liters/day

= 420,500 / (24x60x60) liters/second
= 4.87 liters/second

Water demand in residential area is based on the number and type of housing units set
out in the housing structural plan submitted by the housing developer. The average
daily water demand for each development was referred from the Table B.1 in the
Uniform Technical Guidelines for water reticulation and plumbing.

As per the estimated water

owner

Calculation of external reticulation pipe design

Total water demand = 4.87 liters/second

Case 1 : Peak flow case

Q peak = 4.87 l/ s x 2.5
= 12.18 l/s

Case 2 : Average flow

Q avg = 4.87 l/s

Case 3 : Average flow + Fire flow

Fire flow = 19 l/s
Q avg + 19 l/s = 23.9 l/s
Result and Calculation Analysis
Sample calculation of flow at each of the node
1. Peak flow case

Peaking factor: 2.5 (from UTG)

Double storey house: = (1500 x 267) / (24x 60 x60) x2.5 = 11.5885 l/s

Kindegarden: = (50 x 200) / (24 x 60 x 60) x 2.5 = 0.1157 l/s

Surau: = (50 x 200) / (24 x 60 x 60) x 2.5 = 0.2893 l/s

For 7 houses in a row:

7 / 267 x 11.5885 = 0.304 L/s

For 8 houses in a row:

8 / 267 x 11.5885 = 0.347 L/s

For 13 houses in a row:

13 / 267x 11.5885 = 0.564 L/s

For 16 houses in a row:

16 / 267 x 11.5885 = 0.694 L/s

For 27 houses in a row:

27/267 x 11.5885 = 1.172 L/s

For 30 houses in a row:

30 / 267 x 11.5885 = 1.302 L/s

For 48 houses in a row:

48/267 x 11.5885 = 2.083 L/s

2 .Average flow + Fire flow

Double storey house :

= [(1500 x 267) / (24 x 60 x 60)] + 19 l/s

= 23.64 L/s

Kindegarden :

=[(50 x 200) / (24 x 60 x60)] + 19 l/s

=19.12 L/s

Surau :

= [(200 x 50)/ (24 x 60 x 60)] + 19 l/s

=19.12 L/s

For 7 houses in a row:

= 7 / 267 x 23.64 = 0.620 L/s

For 8 houses in a row:

= 8 / 267 x 23.64 = 0.708 L/s

For 13 houses in a row:

= 13 / 267 x 23.64 = 1.151 L/s

For 16 houses in a row:

= 16 / 267 x 23.64 = 1.417 L/s

For 27 houses in a row:

= 27 / 267 x 23.64 = 2.390 L/s

For 30 houses in a row:

= 30 / 267 x 23.64 = 2.656 L/s

For 48 houses in a row:

= 48 / 267 x 23.64 = 4.250 L/s
