Two reservoirs are connected by two pipelines as shown in Figure 5.1. The difference in the elevation of the water surface between the upper and lower reservoir, Z, is constant at 140 m. Pipeline I has a diameter of 1.2 m, while pipeline 2 has a diameter of 0.9 m. The pipelines are each 40 km long with the roughness factor λ=0.04. Ignore minor losses and. calculate the discharge through each of the pipelines. Pipe 1 Pipe 2

A well is constructed to pump water from a confined aquifer. Two observation wells, MW1 and MW2, are constructed at distances of 10 m and 100 m, respectively. Water is pumped from the pumping well at a rate of 0.8 m³/min. At steady state, drawdown is observed as 5 m in MW2 and 19 m in MW1. Note that drawdown is greater for well MW1 located closest to the pumping well. Determine the Transmissivity (cm²/s) if the aquifer is 40 m thick. (Please enter your answers with 2 decimals)

A well of diameter 15 cm pumps at a steady rate of 265 L/min. It is located 15.2 m from a lake shore that is straight. The well and the lake penetrate the same homogeneous isotropic confined aquifer of hydraulic conductivity 2 m/day. At the steady state the influence of a well pumping at the above rate on the aquifer is upto a distance of 50 m from the well. Determine the drop in water level in the well assuming that without the well pumping, the head at the well is essentially the same as the head in the lake

2. You're designing a stilling basin and you need to know the minimum length of that basin and also how much energy loss will be achieved before flow is released into the downstream channel. Given the basin width is 10-feet, the flow rate is 240 CFS, the upstream froude number is found from hydraulic modeling to be 4.0. Solve the following: • Minimum length of the stilling basin. • Energy loss within the stilling basin (Calculate both energy loss in feet and in tons). • The depth of water being released outside of the stilling basin. • The Froude Number being released from the Stilling Basin. • Look at USBR Design of Small Dams and Write a paragraph (4-5 sentences) of the recommended stilling basin you would propose for the hydraulic scenario.
A dam releases water into a spillway, and then some distance downstream a hydraulic jump occurs. The dam height is 25 m, the initial depth in the spillway is 1 m, and the hydraulic jump leads to a region of depth 15 m. Upstream of the dam may be considered a reservoir. Determine the average velocity before the jump and whether the jump will occur. If there will be a jump, determine the velocity after the hydraulic jump, neglecting any friction losses.

Flow into the reservoir consists of runoff from pasture land having an average BOD, of 50 g/m³ and an average flow rate of 0.5 m³/s. Volume of the reservoir is 2.16 x 106 m³. If k = 0.2 d-¹ and k, = 0.35 d-¹ at 20°C, determine the dissolved-oxygen concentration if the water temperature is 20°C, the inflow is anaerobic, and steady-state conditions exist.
