WATER SUPPLY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION

RECITATION 5 —
DESIGN OF RESERVOIRS

1st Question:
Total water consumption of a town during a day is given in the below table with referance to Max. Qday as
percentage. The water is supplied via a reservoir to which water is pumped from 08:00 to 18:00 (10 hours). Find
the necessary reservoir volume to compensate the fluctuations by calculating fire and maintenance volumes (mean
q day = 150 lt/day/capita, P = 100 000).

Time (o’clock) Percentage of Time (o’clock) Percentage of

max. Qday max. Qday

1-2 1 13-14 8.5
2-3 0.5 14-15 7
3-4 0.5 15-16 5
4-5 0.5 16-17 3

10-11 4 22-23 2
11-12 7.5 23-24 2

2nd Question:
H
The BA and CA pipeline are constructed to distribute water for 4000 people per pipeline
and the AH is for 6000 people. Take Max.Qday of 300 lt/day/capita. Calculate the
D=300 mm
elevation of H reservoir. Take (hk)BA= 5 m, (hk)CA= 9,5 m, (P/)min = 20 m and f =0,03. L=500 m

A (120)
