A state is planning to construct a new water treatment plant to meet the increasing demand for clean drinking water. The proposed plant is designed to treat 50 million gallons of water per day (MGD). If the average daily water consumption per person is 100 gallons, and the state's population is expected to grow by 2% annually over the next five years, calculate: 1. The current population served by the water treatment plant. 2. The projected population to be served by the water treatment plant in five years. 3. The total water demand in the state per day currently. 4. The total projected water demand in the state per day in five years.
