Assume population of Ewu Nkwo = 1000

Unit water demand 10 gpcd = 10 x 4.55 = 45.5 litres pcd
Add for waste 20% = 0.20 x 45.5 = 9.10 + 45.5 = 54.60
Use 55 lcpd

Water demand = 55 x 1000 lpd

Assuming 8 hr pumping per day, average day demand

6.875 m /hr

AB: Q= 8.25 m /hr
head at source = assume 25 m head
head at sink = 3m
head loss due to difference in elevation = 25 - ((107.68 - 99.8) + 3)
= 14.12 m
This loss is encountered over a distance of (650 + 685) = 1335 m
ie 14.12/1335 = 0.010577
