1. What is Water Calculation Certificate?

The Water Calculation Certificate provides an estimation of total water consumption per person per day based on fixture consumption values. It helps in planning water requirements for residential and commercial buildings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the water calculation formula:

Where:

• \( fixture\_consumption \) — Water consumption from fixtures (l/person/day)
• \( 5 \) — Base water allowance (l/person/day)
• \( total \) — Total water consumption (l/person/day)

Explanation: The equation calculates total water requirements by summing fixture consumption and adding a standard base allowance of 5 liters per person per day.

3. Importance of Water Calculation

Details: Accurate water calculation is essential for sustainable water management, infrastructure planning, and ensuring adequate water supply for residential and commercial needs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total fixture water consumption in liters per person per day. The value must be a non-negative number.
