    Max Day Demand Peak Hourly Flow

    "A 1.2 peak hour scares me, I feel it is too low....I usually see peak hours 3 to 4x ave day for residential depending on irrigation." This was my original point, that was I doubt during a Max Day Demand that the peak would be 3x to 4x MDD. Maybe for an individual residence but not a system as...

    Max Day Demand Peak Hourly Flow

    The wells have been 'flagged' by the department as an undesirable water source. Otherwise, I would allocate some of the wells to future developments or to supplement peak demands. The problem with this system is its distant location from the 'action' as it is over 20 miles away from some...

They are installing a...

    Max Day Demand Peak Hourly Flow

    Standard AWWA curve has a peak hourly flow factor of ~1.8 at average day demand. This however would not be the case at max day demand and should be a good bit lower, but AWWA does not have a standard diurnal curve for max day demand. If I knew my residential demands were as follows: ADD = 300...
