Peak demand can vary greatly based on the number of simultaneous water uses, the flow rates of individual water fixtures, and the length of time fixtures operate. 5 gpm (two fixtures running simultaneously at 2.5 gpm) is a good estimate of peak demand, for the typical household. Water wells that reliably yield 5 gpm should be able to meet peak and daily needs for most residences. Wells yielding less than 5 gpm, however, are sometimes the only water source available.
Lifeboat may refer to: Lifeboat (shipboard), a small craft aboard a ship to allow for emergency escape. Lifeboat (rescue), a boat designed for sea rescues. Airborne lifeboat, an air-dropped boat used to save downed airmen.
Best Answer: One definition that is often used is that you can fit a boat inside a ship but you cannot fit a ship inside a boat. A ship is a commercial vessel such as a passenger ship, a freighter or a tanker. A boat is smaller - could be a fishing boat, a dinghy, a sailboat, a row boat, etc., and could actually be fairly large. A yacht is a personally owned pleasure boat, either a sail boat or a power boat, but is not a ship.
