150 km in length transmits a flow of 4.5 m3/s from a shoreline intake on Shoal Lake (Lake of the Woods system) to a distribution reservoir in the City of Winnipeg. Use the Manning’s equation to calculate the minimum-size pipe required to transport the required flow. The maximum allowable head loss from the Lake to the reservoir is 98 m. Assume that entrance and exit losses are negligible and n = 0.013. Explain why the Manning’s equation is used in this case.
