Rural village demand, survey 2070 BS, base year 2073
Short answer
Service year 2093 BS, n=23; population 7042, students 440. Net demand 325385 l/d; adding 15% losses gives 374193 l/d = 374.19 m3/d = 4.33 l/s.
In a rural village, the survey is carried out in the year 2070 BS and the following data is obtained: Population = 5000 nos; No of cows = 50 nos; No of goats = 250 nos; No of chickens = 2000 nos; No of VDC offices = 2 nos; No of tea shops = 3 nos; No of schools = 2 with overall 350 day scholar students; Annual population growth rate = 1.5% and annual growth rate for students = 1%.
If the base year is taken as 2073 BS and the design period is of 20 years, calculate the total water demand of the village for the service year.
Survey year 2070 BS, base year 2073 BS and design period 20 years: the service (design) year is BS, which is 23 years after the survey.
Population and students in the design year
Water demand
Design values assumed (Nepal rural water supply practice): domestic 45 lpcd (public taps); day scholar 5 l/d; boarder 45 l/d; office staff 45 l/d with 10 staff per office; big animal (cow, buffalo) 45 l/d; small animal (goat, pig) 5 l/d; poultry 0.2 l/d; health post 1000 l/d; tea shop 500 l/d; losses and wastage 15% of net demand; maximum day factor 1.5 and peak hour factor 3. Livestock numbers are taken as constant.
| Demand | Quantity | Rate | Demand (l/day) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic (45 lpcd) | 7,042 | 45 l/c/d | 316,885 |
| Day scholars | 440 | 5 l/c/d | 2,200 |
| Cows | 50 | 45 l/d | 2,250 |
| Goats | 250 | 5 l/d | 1,250 |
| Chickens | 2,000 | 0.2 l/d | 400 |
| VDC offices (10 staff each) | 20 | 45 l/staff | 900 |
| Tea shops | 3 | 500 l/d | 1,500 |
| Net demand | 325,385 |
Losses and wastage of net demand l/day
Answer: Total water demand of the village in 2093 BS = 374 m/day (4.33 l/s), for a design population of 7,042.
