@Ismaeel.

Millions of a liter per day = MLD.

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

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.

@Chetan.

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

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.
