Sloan Scientist Crafts New Formula to Better Estimate Peak Water Demand

March 28, 2022

For decades, engineers have relied on a formula dating from 1940 to estimate peak water demand, a key factor in specifying the smallest pipe size that will provide sufficient water pressure for every fixture in a building to function normally.
