Godrich formula:

Q = 4637 (P)^.5 ( 1 - 0.01 (P)^.5 )
P - population in thousands,
Q - lt / hr.
Q = 4637 (50)^.5 ( 1 - 0.01 (50)^0.5 ) * 24*60.
Lt/ day,
= 44mld.

Yeah I agree with @Dip.

Because in the Godrich formula, there is only time and population variables are there. In that equation, there is no fire demand quantity that can be calculated.

If I'm wrong then correct me!

Thanks.

@Ismaeel.

Millions of a liter per day = MLD.

Goodrich's formula. P = 180*t^ (-0.1),

P = Population in thousand.
t = time in days.
Goodrich's formula is to find the peak demand for water not for fire demand.

Goodrich's formula.

P = 180*t^(-0.1),
P = Population in thousand.
t = time in days.
Goodrich's formula is to find the peak demand for water. Not for fire demand.

Godrich's formula is to find the fluctuation of water demand it's not for finding the fire demand.

@Chetan.

It's not Houston's formula. It's is a Boston's formula.

What is the Godrich formula?

Nothing using under writer formula only,

4637*root(50)[1-0.01*root(50)],
30465.7902 lpm,
convert to mld,
43.870 mld = 44 mld.
