The question is wrong.

Generally distribution system should be designed for maximum hourly consumption of maximum day i.e. Peak Demand or Coincident draft, whichever is more.

God-rich formula to find peak demand to an average demand ratio.

P = 180 x t^ (-0. 1)

Where P = percent of the annual average draft for the time 't' in days.

So, I think 180% is the right answer.

225% is correct.

Water mains are Designed for a maximum of ( Max hourly demand or Coincident draft).

Maximum hourly demand = 270% of av hourly demand (i.e. 2.7 * Qav).
Coincident Draft includes Maximum daily demand which is 180% of Average daily demand (i.e. 1.8 * Qav).

Thus we take an average of these two (270+180)/2 = 225%.

I hope this is clarified.

Maximum daily demand = 1.8 x average daily demand.

Maximum hourly demand of maximum day i.e. Peak demand.
= 1.5 x average hourly demand.
= 1.5 x Maximum daily demand/24.
= 1.5 x (1.8 x average daily demand)/24.
= 2.7 x average daily demand/24.
= 2.7 x annual average hourly demand.

Design criteria - coincidental draft or max hourly demand.
Max hourly demand = 1.5 x max daily demand.
= 2.7 x avg daily demand.
= 270%.

Main pipe can be designed as max daily (1.8 times of daily demand),distribution pipe can be designed as (max hourly of max daily (2.7 *max hourly of max daily).

Maximum daily discharge is 1.5 of avg daily discharge.
And Maximum hourly discharge is 1.5 of maximum daily discharge. (OR). 2.25 of avg daily discharge.

Distribution system design criteria - total draft.
Sorce of supply & pipe mains - max daily demand.
Filters &pumps - twice avg daily demand.

225% answer is wrong.

Distribution mains designed for max hourly draft of max day so it should be 150% option (B).

The distribution system in water supplies is designed on the basis of?

Please tell me.
