Concepts of Flood Control

Flooding is a temporary overflow of water that submerges or covers the the usually dry land. It can also be defined as the overflow of the excess amount of water that covers a huge area of land which is normally dry.

A dam supplies to a suburban area using a 0.21m diameter pipeline that is 800m long. For the water to reach the intended reservoir, a pump is needed to raise the flow to a point 125m above the pump. If the flow within the pipe is 0.11 m3/s, determine the savings in horsepower if the engineers decided to replace the old pipe (f = 0.034 with a new 0.29m diameter pipe with f = 0.024.

10.3. For some reason, a lined hazardous-waste landfill was located on top of a confined aquifer. Situated approximately 500 m away is a community water supply well which is pumped at a rate of 104 m³/d. If an earthquake occurs which splits open the liner and pollutes the aquifer, how much time is available to shut down the well and avoid withdrawing contaminated water? Assume the follow- ing aquifer characteristics are applicable: hydraulic conductivity = 50 m/d, porosity = 0.2, aquifer thickness = 5 m, and aquifer width = 50 m. (Courtesy of Jim Hunt.)
