 Water demand
1. Average daily water consumption: It is based on complete one year
supply of water. It is the total consumption during one year, divided by the
population.
q = (Q / P x 365) lpcd (liters per capita per day)
2. Maximum daily consumption: It is the maximum amount of water used
during one day in the year. This amount is 180% of the average daily
consumption MDC = 1.8 x Avg. daily consumption.
It is usually a working day (Monday) of summer season.

 Water demand
3. Maximum weekly demand: The amount of water used by a population
during a whole single week in a study span of 1 year.
Maximum weekly demand = 1.48 x Avg. D. C
Maximum monthly demand = 1.28 x Avg. D. C
Maximum hourly demand = 1.5 x Avg. D. C
Maximum daily demand = 1.8 x Avg. D. C

 Fire demand
4. Fire water demand | Fire Demand: The amount of water used for fire
fighting is termed as fire demand.
Although, the amount of water used in fire fighting is a negligible part of
the combine uses of water but the rate of flow and the volume required may
be so high during fire that it is a deciding factor for pumps, reservoirs and
distribution mains.

CE 602 <SELO: 1,5,9> <Reference No.: R3, R4> 14

 Fire demand
Minimum fire flow should be 1890 L/m
Maximum fire flow should be 32, 400 L/m
Additional flow may be required to protect adjacent buildings.

 Learning Outcomes
On completion of course the students will be able to:
• The students will be able to illustrate the fundamental aspects of Water
demand.
• They will able to know the importance of factor affecting water
demand.
