Formula Used
Water Consumption Calculation
The total water consumption is calculated using the following formula:
Total Consumption = Daily Usage × Number of People × Number of Days
Where:
- Daily Usage is the average water consumption per person per day in liters.
- Number of People is the number of residents in your household.
- Number of Days is 30 for monthly calculations or 365 for annual calculations.
For cost estimation, the calculator uses DEWA's current water tariff rates, which may vary based on your location and usage tier.
Worked Example
Let's calculate the water consumption for a household with 4 people, using 200 liters of water per person per day, for a month.
Example Calculation
Daily Usage: 200 liters
Number of People: 4
Number of Days: 30
Total Consumption: 200 × 4 × 30 = 24,000 liters
This household uses 24,000 liters of water per month, which is equivalent to 800 liters per person per day.
Interpreting Results
Your water consumption results provide several key insights:
- Total Consumption: The overall amount of water used during the selected period.
- Daily Average: Your average water usage per person per day.
- Cost Estimate: An approximate cost based on DEWA's current rates.
Use these results to identify areas where you can reduce water consumption, such as fixing leaks, installing water-saving fixtures, or adjusting your daily habits.
