A community had a population of 150,000 in 2010 and it is expected that this will increase to 220,000 by 2030. The water treatment capacity in 2010 is 43 MLD (i.e., million liters per day). A survey showed that the average per capita water use rate was 220 Lpcd. Estimate the community’s water requirements in 2035 assuming (a) no change in use rate and (b) a reduced use rate of 160 Lpcd. Will expanded treatment facilities be needed by 2030 for condition (a) and for condition (b)?
