Water Tank Capacity Formula:
| From: | To: |
Water Tank Calculation Per Person estimates the required water storage capacity based on number of persons, daily water usage per person, and number of days the supply should last. This helps in planning adequate water storage for households or communities.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula multiplies the number of people by their individual daily water consumption and the desired duration to determine total water storage needs.
Details: Proper water tank sizing ensures adequate water supply for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and other essential needs, especially in areas with irregular water supply or during emergencies.
Tips: Enter the number of persons, average daily water usage per person in liters, and number of days the water should last. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is typical daily water usage per person?
A: Typical usage ranges from 50-150 liters per person per day, depending on lifestyle, climate, and water conservation practices.
Q2: Should I include extra capacity for emergencies?
A: Yes, it's recommended to add 10-20% extra capacity for emergency situations or unexpected increased usage.
Q3: How does climate affect water usage?
A: Hotter climates typically require more water for hydration and cooling, potentially increasing daily usage by 20-30%.
Q4: What about water for gardening or livestock?
A: This calculation is for personal use only. Additional capacity should be calculated separately for gardening, livestock, or other non-personal uses.
Q5: How often should water be rotated in storage tanks?
A: Stored water should be rotated every 6-12 months to maintain quality, depending on storage conditions and treatment methods.
