62. The flow of 62.2 MOD thus becomes the design criterion. An investigation of the hydraulic adequacy of the existing system was undertaken. This investigation indicates the following: The investigation also indicates that the Water Company supply is adequate for the maximum month in 1950 but is not adequate for rates of consumption in excess of this mount. Pertinent data are as follows: Maximum daily capacity of Water Company system with booster pumps 16.7 MOD Maximum month consumption - 1950 17.6 MOD Maximum week consumption - 1950 19.4 MOD Maximum day consumption - 1950 22.0 MOD These data emphasize the seasonal shortage of water already being experienced in the Las Yegasurban area. The analysis was extended to future operating conditions. The annual average safe yield of the artesian wells is about 10.6 MOD. Under conditions of gravity flow from the reservoirs, Maximum daily capacity of Water Company system with booster pumps Maximum hourly rate of flow to urban area with booster pumps 24.3 MOD Maximum hourly demand - Maximum Day - 1950 31.3 MOD Deficiency - Maximum Day - 1950 7.0 MOD
