For flushing systm the water requirement is 200 lpcd.

180% is correct. I agree with it.

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.

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.

Can anyone justify it, please?

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

I don't understand? Please explain me clearly.

Thanks everyone for explaining it.

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.

If daily then 180% and if hourly then 150%.
