A community had a population of 200,000 in 1995 and it is expected that this will increase to 260,000 by 2010. The water treatment capacity in 1995 was 165 ML/day. A survey showed that the average per capita water use rate was 700 L/(person.day). Estimate the community’s water requirements in 2010 assuming
i) No change in use rate, and
ii) A reduced rate of 600 L/(person.day).
iii) Will expanded treatment facility be needed by 2010 for condition (i)? For condition (ii)?
