61 It will be noted that the above application of the Kuichling formula results in sufficient storage to meet the NBFU formula when applied to the annual average. Summarizing the foregoing, storages in the following amounts are necessary: Since 3.7 MG are already available on the Water Company system, only 5.1 MG additional storage is necessary. The above deals only with the total quantity of storage required. Before the storage can be broken down and located, system is necessary. It was mentioned above that the fire flow should be superimposed onto the demand in the average hour of the maximum day, 1970. That this is not the critical condition can be seen from the following tabulation: Operating storage, Maximum Day - 1970 - 7.0 Fire Storage 1970 - 1.8 Total 8.8 MG an analysis of the flow conditions in the distribution Condition Flow from Lake Mead and Artesian Basin - MGD Average Hour, Maximum 43.8 Day - 1970 Fire Flow 8.6 Total 52.4 Peak Hour, Maximum Day - 1970 62.2
