Population Forecasting Techniques

The video tutorial covers population forecasting in water resource engineering, focusing on the arithmetic increase method. It provides population data from 1930 to 1970 and demonstrates how to calculate the average increase per decade. The tutorial then uses this method to forecast populations for 1980, 1990, and 2000. The video concludes with a summary of the method and a preview of the next video.

What is the main topic discussed in the video related to Water Resource Engineering?

• Water quality analysis

• Population forecasting

• Irrigation techniques

• Flood management

Which method is primarily used in the video for population forecasting?

• Geometric method

What is the population of the year 1930 as given in the video?

• 28,000

• 25,000

• 34,000

How is the average increase in population per decade calculated?

• By adding the total increase to the initial population

• By subtracting the total increase from the final population

• By multiplying the total increase by the number of decades

• By dividing the total increase by the number of decades
