Design Criteria and Standards

Demand Projections:
1. Design period: 5 – 10 years
2. Minimum Demand: 0.3 ADD
3. Average Day Demand (ADD):
• Design Population x per capita consumption/1 - NRW
4. Maximum Day Demand (MDD): 1.3 ADD
5. Peak Hour Demand (PHD):
• 3 x ADD for < 1,000 served population
• 2.5 x ADD for > 1,000 served population
6. Non Revenue Water: 15% for a new system
7. Households per public faucet: 4 – 6 HHs
Per capita Water Consumption:
• Level II: 50 - 60 lpcd
• Level III:
• Domestic: 80 – 100 lpcd
• Institutional: 1.0 m3/day or actual
• Commercial: 0.80 m3/day or actual
Design of Pump
• Pump TDH = Depth of Pumping water level + maximum reservoir high water
level + friction losses
• Pump Capacity: = Max Day Demand / operating hours
Design of Reservoirs
• Reservoir Capacity: 25% of ADD
Design of Distribution System
1. Minimum line pressure = 3 meters
2. Maximum line pressure = 70 meters
3. Maximum velocity of flow in pipes:
a. Transmission Line = 3.0 m/s.
b. Distribution Pipes = 1.5 m/s
