Factors affecting rate of demand
- Size of the City : per capita demand for big
cities is generally large as compared to that for
smaller towns as big cities have severed
houses.

- Presence of Industries : more the Industries

more will be the water required.

- Climatic Condition : in winter seasons lesser

water demand & in summer seasons water
demand is more.
- Quality of water : If water is aesthetically and
midically safe, the consumption will increase as
people will not resort to private wells, etc.

- Pressure in the distribution system : more

pressure more will be the demand and visce
versa.

- System of supply : continuous system

increase water use whereas intermittent
system.
SEASONAL VARIATION

during
summer,Firebreak outs
are generally more in
summer, increasing
demand. So thre is
seasonal variation.
