Abstract |
How much water does City X, with 12,000 inhabitants residing along the Snake River require to satisfy its municipal needs for the month of July of the year 2010. In the Columbia River Basin Comprehensive Project the requirement exists for reasonable values of municipal per capita water needs in the Pacific Northwest for the design years from 1960 through 2020. Because of the differences shown by the data at hand, it was necessary to study the Northwest as a separate area in order to derive reasonable projected per capita needs. The derived values in this paper were calculated for use in comprehensive planning and may not fit the requirements of consulting engineers and others who are interested in specific municipalities. |
