Water

Water demand — daily and peak L/day.

Compute drinker demand plus evaporative-cooling demand for a poultry house. Sizes storage tanks and inlet piping.

Inputs

Results

Drinker demand
7,500 L/day

Actual intake rises sharply with house temperature and varies with strain, age and water quality.

Cooling demand
115,200 L/day

Pad area × 3 L/min × hot hours. Zero if the house has no evaporative cooling.

Total daily
122,700 L/day

122.7 m³/day

Peak-hour drinker
469 L/h

Peak-hour factor 1.5× the daily average — sizes the storage draw-off and line flow, not the pump alone.

In short

This water consumption calculator is a free browser tool for commercial poultry projects. Enter your own figures and it returns a class-4 planning estimate (about ±30%) under conservative, expected and optimistic scenarios. Use it to size an investment and to brief manufacturers — a firm supplier quote always overrides the estimate.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter your project figures. Replace the default values in the water consumption calculator with your own flock size, targets and local costs. Defaults are commercial-sector averages, not a recommendation.
  2. Compare the three scenarios. Switch between conservative, expected and optimistic to see how sensitive the result is to your assumptions before committing capital.
  3. Read the assumptions. Check the assumptions panel so you know what the model excludes — typically taxes, import duties, special civil works and land.
  4. Turn the output into a quote request. Send the resulting figures in a single request to receive comparable offers from qualified third-party manufacturers.
