Total quantity of water required = No of fires x Discharge x Time of each fire.
= 4 x (3 x 1000) x (4 x 60) = 2880000 liters = 2880 kilo liters. (where, 1000 liters/minute is discharge of each stream).
= 4 x (3 x 1000) x (4 x 60) = 2880000 liters = 2880 kilo liters. (where, 1000 liters/minute is discharge of each stream).
