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
