A plant treats 25 MGD at 5°C and pH=7.0. The plant uses ozone before the filter and free chlorine after the filter. The ozone contactor has a t10 of 3 minutes and a residual concentration of 0.3 mg/L. The free chlorine contact basin is 65 ft by 214 ft by 10 ft and a baffle factor of 0.5 and a residual concentration of 1.4 mg/L
A3-inch diameter water pipe carries a flow rate of 6 gallons per minute. The pipe is 100 feet long and has a gate valve, two 45-degree elbows, and a sudden c

- As a strategy of the Salahadin Government to extend the residency community in Tikrit City, there is a plan to provide water for a new residential area on the west side of Tikrit City, as shown in the map in Figure 1. The new residential area is exposed to have 25000 residences, three schools to serve 1000 students, and a Plaza Markt that can serve 2000 persons. The water will be supplied from a purification station installed on the Tigris River at an elevation equal to 130 m. The distance between the water purification station and the center of the new residential area is about 9.5 km, and the elevation of the city center is about 150 m. The required pressure in the new residential area center is 30 m. The available pipes in the market with their price are shown in Table 1. Also, the price for each 10-meter of pump head is 1500$.
