(1) The peak demand when there is no
distribution or storage reservoir.
(2) Maximum daily demand when there is adequate
compensating storage.
b) Natural Storage (Lakes and Ponds). The yield from
a natural supply should satisfy the average daily demand. In
determining yield, regulatory restrictions on the decrease in
water level may have to be considered.
c) Impounded Storage. The yield should satisfy the
anticipated future average daily demand.
d) Rainwater Catchment. The minimum annual
precipitation, less all losses, should satisfy the average daily
demand. Adequate storage capacity must be provided.
4.5.3.2
Water Quality.
The following factors are important:
a) Water examination (chemical, physical and
bacterial analyses)
b)
Sources of contamination:
(1)
Domestic wastes
(2)
Industrial wastes
(3)
Sediments from soil erosion
(4)
Hostile action
4.5.3.3
Limits of Economic Development .
The following factors
should be studied:
a)
Cost policy of the Military
b)
Anticipated expansion at the Military activity
c) Time required for the anticipated future demand to
exceed the safe yield from surface sources
d) Design life of the structures, and design
frequency of spillways.
