Rural village demand for 2092 BS, incremental method
Short answer
Use incremental increase over 2.4 decades: design population in 2092 is 22,366. With domestic 45 lpcd and given institutional, livestock, and 15% losses, total water requirement is 1,181 m3/day, about 13.7 l/s.
Estimate the total water requirement for a rural village for the year 2092 BS by forecasting the population by incremental increase method with the following census data.
| Year (BS) | 2018 | 2028 | 2038 | 2048 | 2058 | 2068 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Population | 7200 | 8100 | 9300 | 11000 | 13000 | 16000 |
There are 3 schools (350 day and 50 boarder scholars), livestock (5000 chickens, 1500 goats and 60 cows), 2 health posts with 10 beds capacity and other offices with 100 staffs altogether. Neglect the fire demand for rural area.
The design year is 2092 BS. The last census is 2068, so decades.
Population by incremental increase method
Increase per decade: 900, 1,200, 1,700, 2,000, 3,000; incremental increase: 300, 500, 300, 1,000. ,
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; big animal (cow, buffalo) 45 l/d; small animal (goat, pig) 5 l/d; poultry 0.2 l/d; losses and wastage 15% of net demand. Health post beds are taken at 100 l/bed/day. The 3 schools have 350 day scholars and 50 boarders in total, and the 2 health posts have 10 beds in total. Fire demand is neglected.
| Demand | Quantity | Rate | Demand (l/day) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic (45 lpcd) | 22,366 | 45 l/c/d | 1,006,470 |
| Day scholars | 350 | 5 l/c/d | 1,750 |
| Boarders | 50 | 45 l/c/d | 2,250 |
| Chickens | 5,000 | 0.2 l/d | 1,000 |
| Goats | 1,500 | 5 l/d | 7,500 |
| Cows | 60 | 45 l/d | 2,700 |
| Health posts (10 beds in total) | 10 | 100 l/bed/d | 1,000 |
| Office staff | 100 | 45 l/staff | 4,500 |
| Net demand | 1,027,170 |
Losses and wastage of net demand l/day
Answer: Design population (2092 BS) = 22,366; total water requirement = 1,181 m/day (13.7 l/s).
