A water hammer has been occurred in a pipeline. In the initial investigation, it was found that the speed of the pressure wave is high. What is the reason and how you can solve it? You need to design a trapezoidal open channel without high cost. What you will do? You need to supply drinking water to a city located in area where part of it has mountains. You have two methods to supply the water, gravity supply and pumped supply. What is the best method? Your manager asked you to set a design for a small compound contains 550 persons. The design should be for 30 years. What are the main points you will take it into your account?
Reservoir and Streamflow Routing
In hydrology, a reservoir is usually a natural pond that is enlarged or made using a dam to keep the water clean. Reservoirs or dams can be constructed in several ways, including controlling the existing watercourse, disrupting the watercourse to form embayment within it, by digging or building any number of retaining walls.
Water Resource Systems Analysis
Water resources are natural water sources that may be as useful as water sources. 97% of the world's water is saltwater and only 3% is pure water; just over two-thirds of this ice sheet is located in glaciers. The remaining pure frozen water is found primarily as groundwater, with only a small fraction present above the ground or in the air. Natural sources of freshwater include surface water, under river flow, groundwater, and ice water. Artificial water sources can include treated wastewater (recycled water) and saline seawater.
