Estimate roughly the size of a supply conduit leading to an adequate distributing reservoir serving (i) relatively small residential community of 10,000 people, (ii) a relatively large industrial community of 400,000 people The following are the design conditions specifically for a North American region: a. The average daily water consumption for small communities with populations of 10,000 or less = 100 gpcd (378.5 Lpcd). b. Average daily water consumption for communities with populations of greater than 400,000 or less = 150 gpcd (567.8 Lpcd). c. Maximum daily water consumption is about 50% greater than average daily water consumption. The design water velocity in the circular conduit when flowing full = 4 ft/s = 1.22 m/s. What is the maximum daily consumption for 400,000 people?
