Estimate the total water that will be withdrawn in 2015

Reference no: EM13316000

Consider a state with a total water withdrawal of 4.5 bgd in 2000. This was distributed as follows: municipal use 1.0 bgd, industrial use 1.5 bgd, and steam electric cooling 2.0 bgd. Assume a 2000 Population of 10 million and a projection of 12 million for 2015. It is estimated that an additional 3000 MW of electric generating capacity will be required by 2015 and that the cooling water requirements will be 50 gal/kWh. An industrial expansion of 10% is also expected. Estimate the total water that will be withdrawn in 2015 for each individual sector as well as all sectors combined. State any assumptions. Assume a plant capacity factor of 0.6 (water use will relate to 3000 MW * 0.6).
