Quantitative and qualitative analysis of water demand for a water supply network

The water supply network is an integrated system consisting of technological devices and pipes thanks to which it is possible to transport drinking water from the intake to the recipient. The water supply system under analysis underwent a number of modernisations over a long period of time, which increased the capacity of the water supply network and its water demand. The aim of the study was to make a forecast of water demand in the water supply network in the municipality of Limanowa in the locality of Kłodne, by means of computer research tools in the form of an Excel sheet, and on the basis of source materials obtained from the Water Supply Company. Based on the findings, a proposal is presented for further modernisation of the water supply system in Kłodne. The research part consists of two stages. The first stage is preparation of a demographic prognosis and forecast of the number of people using the water supply system for the years 2022-2033. The second stage involves developing a forecast of water supply network demand for the years 2022-2033. This prognosis presents daily, monthly and annual demand for water for the above-mentioned localities. The last element of the study is to present a proposal for modernising the water supply system, which is developed on the basis of conclusions resulting from the analyses and forecasts.
