2. The population census of a town ‘X’ was conducted at 10 years interval from 1988 to 2018.
The population of the town is given below in table. Determine the future population of the
town for the year 2038 and 2048 by using:

thousand (1,000)

3. A city with a present population of 58000 persons used a total of 9526500m3 of water during
the last 12 months. On the maximum day during that period 42000000 liters of water were
used .Estimate the average and maximum daily flows to be expected in 20 years, when the
population is estimated to be 72000.
4. Calculate the water requirements for a community that will reach a population of 120000 at
the design year. The estimated municipal water demand for the community is 300l/c/d.
 calculate the fire flow, design capacity of the water treatment plant, and design capacity of
the water distribution system. Use NBFU formula for fire flow.
