determine the velocity of the flow through the narrowest region and the discharge through the meter
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.
Water flows upwards through a venturi section. The venturi section varies in
diameter from 15cm at the top and bottom to 5cm at the narrowest point. A differential pressure
transducer measured a pressure difference of 43kPa. Assuming steady flow, determine the velocity of
the flow through the narrowest region and the discharge through the meter. Assume that water has a
density of 1g/cm 3 .
