2) The average daily flows for each month at a wastewater treatment plant serving abouown below.
Month Average Daily Flow (m3/d)
January 12,567
February 11,980
March 13,268
April 15,788
May 12,790
July 10,976
August 9,567
September 9,478

June 11,435
Estimate the following design parameters. State all assumptions and show equations, units, and methods of calculation
a)Estimate the average annual flow rate (AAF), the average wet weather flow rate (AWWF) and the average dry weather flow rate (ADWF),
b)b) Estimate the average wet weather infiltration and inflow (I&I) in m3/d.
c) Assume that the average number of people per household is 2.3. Calculate the per capita flow rates associated with the AAF, AWWF, and ADWF in litres per capita per day (L/c/d). What is the per capita wet weather I&I?
d) During the next 10 years, the number of households and the population serviced by the plant is expected to increase with the addition of 5,250 new houses due to development. Assume that the use of water saving appliances in the new homes will result in a per capita rate of wastewater generation during dry weather from the new development that is 12% less than from the existing homes. What will be the total ADWF to the treatment plant after the new development is connected?
