For population 50000 and water demand 135 LPCD, daily water requirement is

Why is this the answer?

Daily water requirement = Population × per capita demand. = 50000 × 135 L/day = 50000 × 135 / 10⁶ MLD = 6.75 MLD MLD (million litres per day). LPCD = litres per capita per day. IS 1172 recommends 135 LPCD for cities without full flushing, 150 LPCD with.
