i have this info


Population Density 37 p/ha
Peeking Factor
Ave. Consumption 600 L/d per person
Min. Rate 0.4
Max. Day 2.75
Peak Rate 4.13
Fire Flow 75.8 L/s
Max. Dist for Hydrants 150 m
Area (ha) 14.54
Population Density (persons/ha) 37
Total Population (persons) 538.0
Ave. Consumption (L/s per person) 3.73597
Min.Ave. Demand ( L/sec) 3.74

i need these values :

Min. Daily Demand (L/sec)
Max. Daily Demand (L/sec)
Max. Day Demand + Fire Flow (L/sec)
Max. Hourly Demand (L/sec)


thank you for your help. i really appreciate it.
 
well its part of a project i am having hard time with but i do understand maybe this is not the right place. @coloeng
 
Google Ten States Standards. It should have the information you need.
There are also US government Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), some of which are old technical manuals.
These will have the procedures you can follow if there are no local standards.
 
From your list, this is what I would expect:

Ave. Consumption 600 L/d per person * Total Population (persons) 538.0 * Min. Rate 0.4 /86400 = Min. Daily Demand (L/sec)

Ave. Consumption 600 L/d per person * Total Population (persons) 538.0 * Max. Day 2.75 /86400 = Max. Daily Demand (L/sec)

(Ave. Consumption 600 L/d per person * Total Population (persons) 538.0 * Max. Day 2.75 /86400) + (Fire Flow 75.8 L/s Max. Daily Demand (L/sec)) = Max. Day Demand + Fire Flow (L/sec)

Ave. Consumption 600 L/d per person * Total Population (persons) 538.0 *Peak Rate 4.13 /86400 = Max. Hourly Demand (L/sec)
