A town is receiving its water supply from an impounding reservoir through a 90 cm. inside water gravity main with a fall of 79.2 m. in 80.5 km. Due to rapid growth of population, it is proposed to increase the supply by 50 percent by laying a part length of an additional 150 cm, inside steel main, old and new lines being joined by cross-connetions. Find out the exact length of the new pipe line to give this additional discharge. Use f = 0.01. ans. L=47.3 km

Question
A town is receiving its water supply from an impounding reservoir
through a 90 cm. inside water gravity main with a fall of 79.2 m. in 80.5
km. Due to rapid growth of population, it is proposed to increase the
supply by 50 percent by laying a part length of an additional 150 cm,
inside steel main, old and new lines being joined by cross-connetions.
Find out the exact length of the new pipe line to give this additional
discharge. Use f = 0.01.
ans. L=47.3 km
