A lake behind a dam has a capacity of 30000km^2-m approximately. For how many days would this water supply be sufficient to a city of 10^6 populations if daily requirement per person is 500 liters?(a) 60,000 days(b) 950 days(c) 25000 days(d) 8000 daysThis question was addressed to me at a job interview.The question is from Hydrographs in portion Hydro Electric Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) 60,000 DAYS

The explanation: Per DAY requirement: 500 X 10^3 liter = 500 X 10^3 m^3

Available WATER in the dam = 30000 X 10^6 m^3

No of days water supplied = 30000 X 10^6/500 X 10^3 = 60000 days.
