What must be included in both fill site time and dump site time calculations?

In the context of calculating both fill site time and dump site time for mobile water supply operations, it is essential to include the time spent maneuvering or positioning. This is because effective positioning of the vehicle is crucial to ensure safe and efficient operations during both the filling and dumping processes.

Maneuvering takes into account the time needed to navigate the vehicle into the appropriate position to either receive water or release it. This can involve adjusting the vehicle’s angle, ensuring clearance from obstacles, and aligning hoses or fittings properly. Without this included time, the calculations for operational efficiency and response times would be inaccurate, as it reflects the real-world operational conditions faced by the driver operator.

In contrast, elements like resetting equipment, conducting inspections, or refilling equipment may not consistently apply to both sites or affect the total operational time equally, making them less critical for this specific calculation of fill and dump times. Therefore, accounting for maneuvering/positioning is critical in obtaining a complete and realistic assessment of operational time during water supply missions.
