By:Abraham Atnafu

DBU

Water is probably the most important natural resource in the world since
without it life cannot exist and industries cannot operate.
Unlike any other raw materials, there are no substitutes for water in any of its
uses.
Water plays a vital role in the development of communities since reliable supply
of water is an essential prerequisite for the establishment of a permanent
community.
Good quality, easily available, and safe water, makes a tremendous difference to
our quality of life.

Water Supply System Planning

Water supply system planning involves

By:Abraham Atnafu

DBU

identification of service needs


evaluation of options
determination of optimal strategy to meet services
development of implementation strategies

The planning exercise involves


collection of pertinent data(Geological data, Hydrological data, Sanitary conditions of
the area, topography of the area, Legal requirements, public openion,Level of water demand
existing water supply system)

consideration of relevant factors, and


preparation of project documents and cost estimates

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Factors to be considered
(during preparation of the water supply design project)

By:Abraham Atnafu

Population. Factors affecting the future increase in the population are to be studied.
Per capita Requirement. the various factors and living standard and the number and
type of industries, number and type of the commercial establishments in the town etc.

Public places, parks, institutions etc. Water is required for the development of
parks, fire fighting and so many other purposes at public places.

Industries. existing industries as well as future industries should be thoroughly determined.


Sources of water. Detailed survey of the various sources of water available in the
vicinity of the area should be made.

Conveyance of water. from source to water treatment units depend on the relative levels
of the two points. It may flow directly by gravity, if source is at higher elevation. In case pumping is
required, then the capacity of the pumps should be determined.

DBU

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Factors to be considered

Quality of water. The analysis of the raw water quality should be made to know the various

By:Abraham Atnafu

impurities present in it, and to decide on the required treatment processes.

Treatment works. The various sizes and number of treatment units in the water works depend
on the quality and quantity of raw water and the limiting water quality standards.

Pumping units for treated water. The pump-house is designed by considering the future
population water demand. The required number of pumps is installed in the pump house for the
present water pumping requirement, with provision of 50% stand-by pumps for emergency.

Storage. The entire city or town should be divided into several pressure zones and storage facility
should be provided in each zone.

Distribution system. The distribution system should be designed according to the master plan
of the town, keeping in mind the future development.

Economy and reliability. should be economical and reliable. It should draw sufficient quantity
of water from the source at cheapest cost and the purification should meet desired limits.

Population Forecasting
Chapter one: Quantity of Water

By:Abraham Atnafu

20

DBU

Every country conducts an official enumeration of the population


called census every ten-years time (decennial census).In Ethiopia, all
the available census data are collected from the Central Statistical
Authority (CSA). The data is then used for the projection of the
future population of the area under consideration at the end of the
design period.

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

By:Abraham Atnafu

21

DBU

Following are factors responsible for changes in population:


Birth rate
Death rate
Migration rate

There are various methods of projecting population. The methods utilize


different assumption and give different results Selection of method depends on
amount of data available, past population history and length of design periods.

Simple Graphical Method

By:Abraham Atnafu

In this method, a graph is plotted from the available data, between time and population. The curve
is then smoothly extended up to the desired year.

DBU

Comparative Graphical Method


In this method, the cities having conditions and characteristics similar to the city whose future
population is to be estimated are selected. It is then assumed that the city under consideration
will develop, as the selected similar cities have developed in the past.

Population Forecasting

DBU

Ratio Method
In this method, the local population and the country's population for the last four to five decades
is obtained from the census records.
Geometric Increase Method
the average percentage of the last few decades/years is determined, and the forecasting is done on
the basis that percentage increase per decade/year will be same. Thus, the population at the
end of n years or decades is given as

Pn Po 1

100

Where, i = growth rate of the population


Pn = population at time n in the future
Po = present population
n = periods of projection

Work out the probable population after one, two and three decades
using arithmetic increase and geometric increase method.

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Solution

Arithmetic Increase
Increase in present and first decade

By:Abraham Atnafu

47100 - 43500= 3600

Increase in second and third decade

DBU

Increase in first and second decade

50000 47100 = 2900

43500 41000 = 2500

Average increase = (2900+3600+2500)/3 = 3000


Population after 1st decade = 50000 + 3000 = 53000
Population after 2nd decade = 50000 + 6000 = 56000
Population after 3rd decade = 50000 + 9000 = 59000
Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Solution

Geometric Increase
Percent increase in present and first decade

By:Abraham Atnafu

(3600/ 43500 )*100 = 8.26 %

Percent increase in second and third decade

DBU

Percent increase in first and second decade

(2900/ 47100)*100 = 6.16 %

(2500/ 41000)*100 = 6.09 %

Average increase = (6.16 + 8.26 + 6.09)/3 = 6.84 %


P after 1st decade = 50000 (1 + 6.84/100)1 = 50342
P after 2nd decade = 50000 (1 + 6.84/100)2 = 53786
P after 3rd decade = 50000 (1 + 6.84/100)3 = 57465

Example 1.2.
The Annual Growth Rate of a town in Ethiopia is 3.5%. Assuming
the present population of the town (in 2015) is 4500, what would
be the population in 2030?
Solution:
AGR = 3.5%; Po = 4500
n = 2030-2015 = 15
Pn = Po(1+AGR/100)n
P15 = 4500(1+3.5/100)15=7540

Average % change = (10.79+35.65+25.20=30.78+25.63+27.83)/6 = 25.98 % per decade

Using Arithmetic Method


P2014 = P04 + 1 x 19770 = 158800 + 19770 = 178570
P2019 = P04 + 1.5 x 19770 = 158800 + 1.5 x 19770 =188455
Using Geometric Method
P2014 = P04(1 + i/100)1 = 158800 (1 + 25.98/100)=200057
P2019 = P04 (1+ i/100)1.5=158800 (1 + 25.98/100)1.5=224545

Components of Water Demands

DBU

Water demand is defined as the volume of water required by users


to satisfy their needs.

Demand is the theoretical while consumption is actual.

Design of a water supply scheme requires knowledge of water


demand and its timely variations.

Various components of a water demand are

residential, commercial, industrial, public water uses, fire demand


and unaccounted for system losses.

All the above formula are literature recommendations based on the


standard of the concerned country and they are not recommended
to be applied for Ethiopian case.
This demand is generally taken care of by increasing the volume of
the storage tanks by 10%.

Unaccounted system losses and leakage


47

By:Abraham Atnafu

DBU

This includes water losses in the water supply system due to bad
plumbing, illegal connections and others.
The amount is usually expressed in percentage of the sum of
domestic demand, public demand and the industrial demand
covered from the water supply system. And it usually varies from
15% to 50% depending on the age of the pipelines in the systems
and the size of the distribution network.

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

By:Abraham Atnafu

Example 1.4

DBU

For a town having population of 60,000 estimate average daily


demand of water. Assume industrial use 10%, institutional &
commercial use 15 %, public use 5% and live stock 10% of domestic
demand. Take per capita domestic consumption of 50 l/day and
leakage to be 5%.

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Solution 1.4

By:Abraham Atnafu

DBU

P = 60,000
Domestic = 50 x 60,000 = 3000000 l/day= 3000 m3/day
Industrial = 0.10 x 3000 m3/day = 300 m3/day,
Inst & com. = 0.15 x 3000 m3/day = 450 m3/day
public = 0.05 x 3000 m3/day = 150 m3/day
live stock = 0.10 x 3000 m3/day = 300 m3/day
leakage = 0.05 x 3000 m3/day = 150 m3/day
Total average daily demand = 4350 m3/day
Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Factor Affecting Water Use

Climatic conditions:Rate of water consumption increases with the increase in temperature-

By:Abraham Atnafu

consumption in summer is higher than in winter.

Cost of water:The existence of meters and high costs of water limits the water consumption.
Living Standards: Rate of water consumption increase with higher standard of living.
Industries:
Metering water lines
Quality of water supply:water is consumed when quality of water is better.
Size of city: The bigger size of community makes an in-increase in industrial and municipal demands which
Increase rate of water consumption.

DBU

The pumping station is called low-lift or low-service because the


function of the pumps is to raise the water from the surface water
supply to the treatment facility. High-service pumps that supply
water to the distribution system are selected with the objective of
providing a high enough pressure to make water flow at a high rate
through service connections at various elevations throughout the
distribution system.

Design Year: year when the facility is expected to reach its full design capacity and the
year at which future expansion may become necessary.
Selecting design period needs sound judgment and skills in developing future population
growth estimate from the past social and economic trends
Different factors considered to decide a design period for a water supply project
1.
useful time of different units
2.
convenience of future expansion
3.
anticipated changes in drinking water quality requirements
4.
anticipated changes in raw water quality
5.

Example 1.5

DBU

Calculate the water requirements for a community that will reach a


population of 120,000 at the design year. The estimated municipal
water demand for the community is 300 l/c/d. Calculate the fire
flow, design capacity of the water treatment plant, and design
capacity of the water distribution system. Use NBFU formula for fire
flow.

Chapter one: Quantity of Water

Solution 1.5

By:Abraham Atnafu

P = 120,000
Qday-avg = 300 x 120,000 =36000000 L/d = 36000 m3/d
Take PF for Q day-max = 1.6 and 2.0 for Qpeak-hr
Q day-max =1.2 x 36000= 57,600 m3
Qpeak-hr= 1.7 x 36000 = 72,000 m3
Fire flow rate = QF 231.6 P (1 0.01 P )
