Rural area demand 2025 AD, incremental increase
Short answer
Population in 2025 by incremental increase method: 20,153. Total water requirement: 1,074 m3/day (12.4 l/s) including 15% losses.
Estimate the total water requirement for a rural area for the year 2025 AD by forecasting the population by incremental increase method with the following data.
| Year | 1950 | 1960 | 1970 | 1980 | 1990 | 2000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Population | 7150 | 7680 | 8425 | 9265 | 11780 | 14339 |
There are 4 schools with 125 day scholar students and staffs in each school, livestock (3520 chicken/ducks and 170 big animals), 2 health posts with 5 beds capacity and other offices with 345 staffs altogether.
The last census is 2000, so for 2025, decades.
Population by incremental increase method
Incremental increase method
Increase per decade: 530, 745, 840, 2,515, 2,559; incremental increase: 215, 95, 1,675, 44. ,
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. Health post beds are taken at 100 l/bed/d; each of the 2 health posts is taken to have 5 beds. School staff are counted with the 125 day scholars of each school (4 schools, 500 persons at 5 l/d).
| Demand | Quantity | Rate | Demand (l/day) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic (45 lpcd) | 20,153 | 45 l/c/d | 906,872 |
| Day scholars and staff (4 x 125) | 500 | 5 l/c/d | 2,500 |
| Big animals | 170 | 45 l/d | 7,650 |
| Chickens and ducks | 3,520 | 0.2 l/d | 704 |
| Health posts (2 x 5 beds) | 10 | 100 l/bed/d | 1,000 |
| Office staff | 345 | 45 l/staff | 15,525 |
| Net demand | 934,251 |
Losses and wastage of net demand l/day
Answer: Population in 2025 = 20,153; total water requirement = 1,074 m/day (12.4 l/s).
