Design discharge 2030, Surkhet village
Short answer
Design population 2019 after 15 years at 2%. Net demand 137501 l/d; adding 15% losses gives 158126 l/d = 158.13 m3/d = 1.83 l/s. Design discharge: max day 2.75 l/s, peak hour 5.49 l/s.
Calculate the design discharge for design year 2030 for a village in Surkhet District. The data collected in survey year 2015 is as below:
Survey year population = 1500; Population growth rate = 2.0% per year; Number of buffalos = 345; Number of cows = 450; Number of goats = 800; Number of chickens = 2000; Number of boarder students = 64; Number of day scholar students = 450; Number of offices = 3.
Survey year 2015, design year 2030, so years.
Design population
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.
| Demand | Quantity | Rate | Demand (l/day) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic (45 lpcd) | 2,019 | 45 l/c/d | 90,846 |
| Boarders | 64 | 45 l/c/d | 2,880 |
| Day scholars | 450 | 5 l/c/d | 2,250 |
| Buffaloes + cows | 795 | 45 l/d | 35,775 |
| Goats | 800 | 5 l/d | 4,000 |
| Chickens | 2,000 | 0.2 l/d | 400 |
| Offices (10 staff each) | 30 | 45 l/staff | 1,350 |
| Net demand | 137,501 |
Losses and wastage of net demand l/day
Design discharge
- Maximum day demand l/s (source, intake and transmission main).
- Peak hour demand l/s (distribution).
Answer: Design discharge (maximum day) = 2.75 l/s; average demand = 1.83 l/s (158.1 m/day); peak hour = 5.49 l/s.
