gallons/minute = 108.25 Therefore, provide water source with a total capacity of 181 gallons per minute... Water Tank Size Requirement
(75% Average Day Demand)
= 51,958.50 gallons Therefore, provide a Water Tank with a capacity of 197 cubic meter... Cistern Tank Size Requirement
(25% Average Day Demand + Fire Water Requirement)
= 17,319.50 gallons Therefore, provide a Cistern Tank with a capacity of 66 cubic meter... NOTE: If Cistern Tank is not to be constructed then Water Tank should carry the whole 100% Water Demand plus Fire Water Requirement
