    The per capita demand or per capita consumption is usually calculated for a specific city, area, or village for planning the water requirement of that area and to plan a specific water distribution system accordingly. so coming back to your we generally calculate per capita demand for a specific city for example cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Banglore, Nagpur, etc

    so generally we cannot calculate the water demand for a whole country or nation. instead of that, we calculate the water demand for specific areas.

    I’m listing down some percapita demand of some cities in India .Hope it will helpyou in understanding things.

    1. kolkata 116 lpcd
    2. hyderabad 96 lpcd
    3. ahemdabad 95 lpcd
    4. mumbai 90 lpcd
    5. madhurai 88 lpcd
    6. delhi 78 lpcd
    7. kanpur 77 lpcd

    (note : per capita demand =current population*water demand/365*100)

    Cement is used as binding material and excellent material under compression. So there are different types of cement for different types of structures.

    For commercial construction two types of cements are widely used as construction material as mentioned below

    1. Ordinary Portland cement or OPC
    2. Portland pozzolana cement or PPC

    with comparisons of price OPC (ordinary portland cement)is costlier than PPC (Portland pozzolana cement)so for residential building PPC cement is better option as it is cheap as compared to OPC.

    Final suggestion

    OPC gets the strength earlier than PPC. But PPC can attain that same strength after proper curing time .its curing time is more than OPC. So PPC can be a good alternative if proper care of curing is taken. IS(INDIAN STANDARD) recommends both OPC and PPC suitable for construction purposes.
