STORAGE TANK NO.

(A) Supply flow to tank : l/s

(B) Design demand to be supplied through tank : l/s

(A) = , and from graph storage tank size required = ________ % of B

(B)
= m³

Storage tank capacity required = m³

Note : If safe source yield > design demand, inflow to the tank
can be determined by assuming a certain standard capacity
of the tank.
For example, Assume storage tank capacity 10 m³,
Storage size in % of daily demand = B/10 =
Then for this value read from graph, Q inflow / Q design demand = x (
Q inflow = x X B (l/s) =

After a few trials, inflow to the tank and storage capacity can be fixed
