A community has a current population of 25,000. 10 years ago, the population was 18,500 and the community has a geometric growth rate. The total water consumption for the community at present is 4.0 million gallons per day. The treatment plant has a capacity of 6.0 million gallons per day. Determine how many years from now the consumption will reach 85% of its design capacity if current water usage rates remain steady. 4.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:-

The current population of a community = 25000

The population of the community 10 years ago = 18500 

The total water consumption for the community at present = 4 million gallons per day

The capacity of the treatment plant = 6 million gallons per day

To determine:-

How many years from now the consumption will reach 85% of its design capacity
