A community had a population of 200,000 in 2010 and it is expected that this will increase to 260,000 by 2030. The water treatment capacity in 2010 is 43 mgd (i.e., million gallons per day). A survey showed that the average per capita water use rate was 180 gpcd. Estimate the community’s water requirements in 2030 assuming (a) no change in use rate and (b) a reduced use rate of 160 gpcd. Will expanded treatment facilities be needed by 2030 for condition (a) and for condition (b)?
