Industrial:

Industrial water requirement depends on several factors, such as, type of industry, size of industry and number of industries for a particular water supply scheme. A water supply scheme may be planned for a residential town and amount of water requirement may be enhanced to take care for existing or expected industry. Sometimes, a water supply scheme is planned for an industrial area where different types of industry of different sizes are located or likely to come. For very large industry water supply scheme has to be planned for that particular industry in addition to housing and other amenities associated with it. Water requirement for industries located in a town may be taken around 60 litres/head/day but the demand may go as high as 500 litres/head/day depending on type of industry. Table gives an idea of water consumption for different kinds of manufacturing industrial units.
