Demand, storage autonomy + peak use
Size storage from the actual operating brief rather than from population alone.
- Separate average daily demand from peak-hour and critical-use demand.
- Confirm whether the project needs one, two, three or more days of storage autonomy.
- Allow for source reliability, refill rate, treatment operating hours and maintenance downtime.
- Healthcare, education, WASH and emergency projects require application-specific demand review.
