Daily water consumption cannot be used directly as the required hourly water production rate.
Also consider daily operating hours, periods of concentrated demand and whether storage can help manage peaks. Even with the same daily demand, different consumption patterns may require different supply arrangements.
Specify daily demand, peak hourly demand, operating hours and storage conditions separately, then ask technical staff to check equipment capability and site conditions.
Information that can be recorded for this inquiry
| Item to check | Information or records | Confirm the application |
|---|---|---|
| Daily demand | Total daily demand and its basis | Describe consumption over a day |
| Peak demand | Periods of concentrated demand and their duration | Identify short-term supply requirements |
| Available operating hours | Production shifts, planned shutdowns and water storage | Check water production and replenishment arrangements |
Is daily demand divided by 24 the required equipment flow rate?
Not necessarily. Available equipment operating hours, demand peaks, storage and maintenance schedules all need to be checked. Specify the units and time period before determining the configuration.
