Two reservoirs are connected by a single 600 mm diameter pipe that is 3 km long. Take the head difference between the reservoirs as 30 m, the Hazen-Williams frictional coefficient (c) in the pipe as 150. Minor losses are to be ignored. At a distance of 300 m from the higher reservoir the pipeline crosses a ridge. The ground level at the ridge is 9 m above the water level of the higher reservoir. Calculate the minimum depth of the trench at the ridge at which the pipe must be laid so that the water pressure in the pipe does not fall lower than 7m below atmospheric, e.g. -7,0 m.

QUESTION 5
Two reservoirs are connected by a single 600 mm diameter pipe that is 3 km long. Take the
head difference between the reservoirs as 30 m, the Hazen-Williams frictional coefficient (c) in
the pipe as 150. Minor losses are to be ignored.
At a distance of 300 m from the higher reservoir the pipeline crosses a ridge. The ground level
at the ridge is 9 m above the water level of the higher reservoir. Calculate the minimum depth of
the trench at the ridge at which the pipe must be laid so that the water pressure in the pipe does
not fall lower than 7m below atmospheric, e.g. -7,0 m.
