Water is supplied to a town with a population of 100000 at a rate of 150 1/c/d from a river, 1.8 km away. The difference in elevation between the lowest water level in the sump and service reservoir is 36 m. Given that the pumps work 12 hours a day and the maximum demand to be 1.8 times the average annual demand, allowable velocity is 1.0- 1.5m/s and the pipe sizes available are 650 mm, 750 mm, 900 mm and 1200 mm, determine: (i) The size of the trunk mains and the corresponding velocity (ii) The head loss between the source and the reservoir (iii) The Brake Horse Power of the pump (efficiency = 65%)
