Water Consumption vs. Water Demand
• Knowledge of the
quantity of water
needed to satisfy the
requirement of the
building or community
is necessary in the
design of any water
supply system.
• In addition to domestic
consumption, allowance
should be made for
leakages and pilferages.
• Ideally, this should not
be more than 15% of
the total water sent to
the distribution system.
MHD *Time
= (2.5 x Average Day Demand) ÷ Time*
= Duration of Usage

• Maximum Hour Demand is used in:
1. Estimating the diameter of transmission
and distribution mains.
Determine the:
1. Average Day Demand
2. Maximum Day Demand
3. Maximum Hour Demand
Solve for:
1. Capacity of Overhead Storage Tank, if the Gravity System is to be used.
2. Capacity of Transfer Pump
3. Capacity of Booster Pump and Pressure Tank, if the Hydropneumatic
Pressure System is to be used.
• Minimum Capacity
Cst = (0.25 x 78,450) 1.03
Cst = 20,200.90 liters
say 21,000 liters
TDH = 74 meters
= 1 – 0.69
= 0.31
Peak instantaneous flow plus HVAC water requirements and any large water demand
equipment (such as large laundry) should be used for sizing the water service and
pumping equipment.
