BACKGROUND & RATIONALE

Introduction:

Water scarcity is a global challenge with direct implications for agriculture and daily life. We recognize the
need for a sustainable solution to address water storage deficits. The proposed concrete elevated water tank
project aims to serve as a pivotal step toward mitigating the impacts of water scarcity on agricultural activities
and domestic water needs.

Project Rationale:

The need for a concrete elevated water tank stems from the limitations of conventional water storage methods.
Concrete offers durability, stability, and longevity, ensuring the water tank's ability to withstand varying
environmental conditions. Additionally, the project aligns with broader sustainability goals by promoting
efficient water use and conservation.

Conclusion:
Understanding the background and rationale behind the project sets the stage for a purposeful and impactful
initiative. The ensuing sections will delve into the practical aspects of the proposed concrete elevated water
tank.

CHAPTER TWO:

Water tank Design in Gobsho Region

Gobsho is small town located in Somalia, Mudug region Gobsho is 20 km away from east Galkayo
This small town consists of 150 houses and each house it’s a family of 7 member (5 children and 2 parents) and
the population will be

P = 150 x 7 = 1050 people

We plan this project for the 20 coming years. The population of the next 20 years, 2043 will be.
P2043 = Pe x (1 + IG¿n
Note the growth of Somalian is 3% per year.
P2043 = 1050 x (1 + 0.03¿20 = 1897
The population of the village will become 1897 people.
Now we find the Domestic water they use or need per day.
Domestic water L/ D / P
Dinking 4L
Cooking 10L
Pathing/clothing 15 L
School 30 L
Praying 5L
MCH 20 L
Total 84L/D/P + accessory
Total = 84 L/D/P
The charge is equal to population times percent.
Q = population x per capital
Q = 1897 x 84 = 159348 L/D
The people of this village are shepherd.
The average number of animals each family has 50 goats and the design in our tank to give a water 200 goats
per day and we know the average water needed in one goat per day is 5L.
5 x 200 = 10,000 L
The water will be.
159348 + 10000 = 169348 L/D

PROJECT: ELEVATED WATER TANK ESTIMATIONS 13

And we change this L/D into L/S
169348
=¿ 1.96 L/s
24 x 60 x 60
The charge maximum will be Q max = Q x daily max = 1.8 x 1.96 = 3.53 L/s
The next step is to find the storage and we will only store 30% of the total water
Storage = 20% x 169348 x 1.8 = 61 m3
And our tank will be rectangular.
V=Axh
And we assume the height of our tank is 2.5 m
61 m3 = A x 2.5 m
3
61 m
A= = 24.4 m2
2.5 m
A=LxW
2
24.4 m = 6.1 m and the length and width is 4 m
The pressure of the water will be
P = 61 x 9.81 = 598.4 KN
