 Borehole data
 Hand dug
 Ground water level
 Drawdown
 Its discharg

3.3. Water supply sources

o Existing
o Proposed

4. Socio- economic survey

4.1. Population projection

The design period (planning horizon) is the length of time for which the system is
expected to provide community with good quality and sufficient quantity of water
supply services. Design period of 15 years and water supply implementations in one
year has been adopted for this project in accordance with the design criteria of the
client. This criterion is used to forecast feature population and water demands of
population as well for designing capacities and sizing of water supply system
components

4.2. Base Population

As per information obtained from Kebeles, districts, municipal

administration office current population size of the project area and the
(CSA, 2007) data, averaging of the two taken as base population.
Note the base population and the base year are not included the design
and construction period. So, the base of the two taken as just the
construction period already finished and when the population to start
consumption.
4.3. Population forecasting method

In Ethiopia, the Geometric increasing method or uniformly percentage growth is using

commonly for forecasting population for different towns .the commonly formula of
this method is:-

Pn=Po (1 + R %) n

Where, Pn= future population at the end forecasting period

Po= base population (population at the beginning)

R= rate of annul growth as percentage

n = period (number of year)

The Ethnic group, religious and the growth rate must be considered.
