Boat water-tank endurance calculator

Calculate end-of-day water balances and minimum additional refill required to avoid negative balance with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use end-of-day water balances and minimum additional refill required to avoid negative balance to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

End-of-day water balances (L)

Daily running balance=start+refills-crew×use; negative levels display planned shortfall.

Minimum additional refill required to avoid negative balance (L)

Daily running balance=start+refills-crew×use; negative levels display planned shortfall.

No-refill endurance (days)

Daily running balance=start+refills-crew×use; negative levels display planned shortfall.

Symbols and units
a
Usable water aboard (L)
b
Crew count
c
User water use (L/person/day)
d
Daily planned refills (L)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Usage chosen by user; ignores tank capacity when refilling and makes no drinking-water adequacy claim. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Usage chosen by user; ignores tank capacity when refilling and makes no drinking-water adequacy claim.
