Calculation of reservation volume of water supply system

Input data

Population

Water consumption per capita

Greates consumption day coefficient

Daily operating hours of the production system

Output data

Water volume to be stored

Description

Calculates the water volume to be stored in the distribution tanks of the water supply system.

Given the population, per capita water consumption, greatest consumption day coefficient, and the daily operating hours of the production system, this calculation determines the necessary storage volume efficiently.

Calculation Method

The calculation is performed using the formula:

Volume=Population×Q×C3×t\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Population} \times Q \times C}{3 \times t}

Where:

  • QQ: Per capita consumption converted to m3m^3,
  • CC: Greatest consumption day coefficient,
  • tt: Daily operating hours converted to days.
