Problem 5: Temporal Distribution of Flow for Reservoir Sizing

From a demand analysis already performed, it is known that the maximum day for year, peak flow (i.e.,
the highest flow rate during the maximum day) required by a certain city is 560 L/s. Using the figure
provided below:

a) Create a table in Excel that has a column with “time” for each hour, and “% of peak” for each
hour of the maximum day for year.
b) What is the average daily flow rate on the average day, in L/s?
c) Using the known peak flow rate and % of peak values you have prepared to calculate, in terms
of L/s, the flow demand for each hour of the maximum day.

560 L/s
