A turbine system is harnessing the energy of flowing water from reservoir 1 to reservoir 2. The difference in elevation between the two reservoirs is 120ft. For a design flowrate of 50ft^3/s, the head loss is 30ft. If an average household consumes 1000hp every month, solve the theoretical number of households that can be served by the turbine system. Neglect the difference in atmospheric pressure between the reservoirs.
