In this paper, a linear programming model has been developed for determining the optimal water usage for residential purposes. A case of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (SMVDU) has been discussed. The model presented in this paper is very simple and easy to use. The water usage in residential area consisting of faculty quarters and students’ hostels has been studied. The necessary data have been supplied to the model and the minimum water requirements have been computed for different faculty quarters as well as hostels. The model has been solved using TORA software. This study is very useful in deciding the optimal water requirements/distribution in the different units of the university.
