What is the scale of water that is required for a city or town having a population of 50,000 to meet fire demand, as recommended by the Indian Standard, IS:9668-1990?

  • A.1500 litres per minute
  • B.1800 litres per minute
  • C.2200 litres per minute
  • D.2500 litres per minute

Answer: B

For a town of 50,000 population, IS 9668 recommends a fire demand of 1800 litres per minute for the scale of water to be kept available. The required quantity increases with the population served, so that bigger towns need larger fire flows. The values 1500, 2200 and 2500 litres per minute are not the figure that the code gives for this population, and they would apply to smaller or larger towns than the one named.
