Solution:

Explanation: The minimum water presure available at fire hydrants is 100-150kN/m² i.e 10-15m of water head and it should be maintained for 4 to 5 hours.

QUESTION: 5

Match list 1(calculation of fire demand) with list 2 (formulae) and select the correct answer using the codes given below.

where Q = quantity of water, P = population in thousands
Solution:

Explanation: Kuchling’s formula is used when the population of the city exceeds 50,000.

QUESTION: 6

 What is the fire demand of the city of 1lakh population by Buston’s formula?
Solution:

Explanation: By Buston’s formula , Q = 5663√P where P in thousands. Here, P =100, Q = 5663√100 => Q = 56630.

QUESTION: 7

Water lost in theft and waste contributes to how much % of total consumption?
Solution:

Explanation: Water loss in thefts and wastes contributes to 15% of total consumption, which includes the water loss due to leakage or stolen due to illegal connection.

QUESTION: 8

Which is the correct statement regarding per capita demand?
Solution:

Explanation: The per capita demand is the annual average amount of daily water required by one person. It is denoted by q in litres per day per person.

QUESTION: 9

What are the factors affecting per capita demand?
Solution:

QUESTION: 10

Which of the following statement is correct?
Solution:

Explanation: Rich class consumes more water, loss of water is more if the pressure in distribution system is more, water consumption is more in flush system and b option is the only correct statement.

QUESTION: 11

 If the annual average hourly demand of the city is 10000m3, what is the maximum hourly consumption?
Solution:

Explanation: Maximum hourly demand = 2.7 * annual average hourly demand
=2.7 * 10000
=27000m3.

QUESTION: 12

 If in a city, the maximum daily draft is 25MLD, fire draft is 35MLD and maximum hourly draft is 40MLD, what is the coincident draft?
Solution:

Explanation: Maximum daily draft +fire draft = 25 + 35 = 60MLD
Maximum hourly draft = 40MLD
Coincident draft is maximum of maximum draft draft + fire draft and maximum hourly draft =60MLD.

QUESTION: 13

What is the design period for the water treatment unit?
Solution:

Explanation: Water treatment unit is designed for 15 years and its design discharge is a maximum daily demand.

QUESTION: 14

 What is the design discharge for intake structures?
Solution:

Explanation: Intake structures and the pipe mains that carry water from intake structures to treatment plant are designed for maximum daily demand.

QUESTION: 15

In which of the following units, design period is maximized?
Solution:

Explanation: Distribution system is designed for 30 years, the demand reservoir for 50 years, the water treatment unit for 15 years and the pipe mains for 30 years.
