population

module wntr.metrics.misc

population(wn, R=8.76157e-06)

Compute population per node, rounded to the nearest integer [27].

\[pop=\dfrac{Average\ expected\ demand}{R}\]

Parameters:

• wn (wntr WaterNetworkModel) – Water network model. The water network model is needed to get demand timeseries at junctions and options related to duration, timestep, and demand multiplier.

• R (float (optional, default = 0.00000876157 m3/s = 200 gallons/day)) – Average volume of water consumed per capita per day in m3/s

Return type:

A pandas Series that contains population per node
