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.

Input and output data

Inputs

Parameter	Standard Units	Description
Population	(dimensionless)	Total population considered in the calculation
Water consumption per capita	$L/hab \cdot d$	Daily water consumption per inhabitant
Greatest consumption day coefficient	(dimensionless)	Factor for peak consumption days
Daily operating hours of the production system	$h$	Daily operating hours of the production system

Outputs

Parameter	Standard Units	Description
Water volume to be stored	$m^3$	Volume of water to be stored in the tanks

Calculation Method

The calculation is performed using the formula:

Where:

• $Q$: Per capita consumption converted to $m^3$,
• $C$: Greatest consumption day coefficient,
• $t$: Daily operating hours converted to days.
