22: A small village is located near a stream that is to be used as the source of water supply for the community. The minimum flow in the stream is 550 m³/h. The population analysis reveals that the opulation is expected to increase linearly from a population of 10,000 in 2008 to 30,000 in 2058. The water consumption of the community is estimated to reach an annual average demand of 300 Lpcd. Would you be able to supply these demands directly from the stream? If not, till how many years you will be able supply?
Reservoir and Streamflow Routing
In hydrology, a reservoir is usually a natural pond that is enlarged or made using a dam to keep the water clean. Reservoirs or dams can be constructed in several ways, including controlling the existing watercourse, disrupting the watercourse to form embayment within it, by digging or building any number of retaining walls.
Water Resource Systems Analysis
Water resources are natural water sources that may be as useful as water sources. 97% of the world's water is saltwater and only 3% is pure water; just over two-thirds of this ice sheet is located in glaciers. The remaining pure frozen water is found primarily as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above the ground or in the air. Natural sources of freshwater include surface water, under river flow, groundwater, and ice water. Artificial water sources can include treated wastewater (recycled water) and saline seawater.
