An intake tower located in a cold climate reservoir is being designed for a winter design flow rate of 18,000 m3/day. The tower will have 6 ports at three different elevations in each cell. All the ports combined must carry the total required discharge.There is a bar rack on each port with a bar diameter of 2 cm with a clear opening of 4cm between two bars. Determine the area of each port opening. Describe what will happen if three of the ports get blocked at the same instant, what measures can you take to handle the situation and keep the intake structure operational.
