ISSUED FOR: CALCULATIONS - IRRIGATION WATER DEMAND

Number Area Daily Water Reqt Daily Water Reqt


Plant Types
QTY (SQM) (Liter) (Liter)
Palm 71 - 120 / no. 8,520
Trees 66 - 70 / no. 4,620
Shrubs & Ground Covers 23758.2 (15 - 18) / m² 356,373
TOTAL DAILY WATER REQT (Liters) 369,513

Assumptions and References:


1. QTY/Area at this stage will be finalized at DD stage
2. Softscape estimated at 60% of the indicated SOF&HARD areas

4. see masterplan below, tress outside RED outline is excluded in this calculation.

REMARKS AND CONCERNS:


1. This much of volume requirement to be reduce by:
- adding more hardscape areas
- incorporate recycled water approach via water treatment
2. This would require a 2 no.s 12 x 12 x 3 meter tank (with 2.5m water height) - 2 day capacity

Definition:
1. Palm - will be treated separately from other tress since this tree has a high demand by itself.
2. Trees - all types of trees, regardless of species will have similar demand.
3. Shrubs - all types of low level plants, regardless of species will have similar demand.
4. Ground Covers - grass, ground crawlers and similar will fall in this category.

Notes:
1. Storage tank shall be sized for a 2-day daily capacity (ie, 369.5 cu.mtr. x 2 days = 739 cubic meter)
2. Roof tank not required for this purpose
3. Due to huge water demand for wadi and irrigation, a non-potable water source needs to be investigated

Total 1-Day Water Demand (Liters) 9,036

Assumptions and References:


1. Irrigation demand calculated separtely
2. Wadi water demand calculated separately

REMARKS AND CONCERNS:


1. Roof tank by code is must, L35 to address this issue (special approval may be required)
2. Roof tank (1 day demand per building) is required - calculated separately
3. Concept calculation based on Concept masterplan, dated 15 Sep 2020

Notes:

1. Main Storage tank shall be sized for a 2-day daily capacity (ie, 9 cu.mtr. x 2 days = 18 cubic meter)
Main tank size will be 2.0m x 4.0m x 3.0m (2.5m water height + 0.5m freeboard)
Pump-Tank technical room requirement for this case is 6.5m x 5.5m with 4.5m room clear height.
NOTE: If room height is less than 4.5m, room footprint needs to be larger (subject to further assessment)

2. Demand for irrigation and wadi is excluded (if combined, main tank dimension to be adjusted)
3. Due to huge water demand for wadi and irrigation, a non-potable water source needs to be investigated

REMARKS AND CONCERNS:


1. This much of volume requirement to be reduce by:
- adding more shaded areas and/ reduce water surface area
- add cooling mechanism to maintain water temp below 35 degress celcius
2. ADDC approval on this volume might be a concern
3. Refer to detailed building information per Concept masterplan, dated 15 Sep 2020
