Variation effects on the economical design of service reservoirs

Abstract

The equalizing capacity component of the service reservoirs governs the economy of the service reservoirs. It is desirable to evaluate such a capacity accurately for a given type of community and its nature of activities. A methodology to evaluate such an economical capacity is discussed through a comprehensive analysis of the varying situations such as the hours of the pumping schedule, time of starting the pump, and nature of the activities of the populations involved. The presented tabular data and monographs shall be of immense help and use to the designers and operating engineers for fixing the hours of pumping and the schedule of pumping operation.
