Water has to be supplied to a town with one lakh population at the rate of 150 litre/capita/day from a river 2000 m away. The difference in elevation between the lowest water level in the sump and reservoir is 40 m. If the demand has to be supplied in 8 hrs, determine the size of the main and the brake horse power of the pumps required. Assume maximum demand as 1.5 times the average demand. Assume f= 0.03, velocity in the pipe = 2.4 m/s and efficiency of pump = 80%.

Question
Water has to be supplied to a town
with one lakh population at the rate of
150 litre/capita/day from a river 2000
m away. The difference in elevation.
between the lowest water level in the
sump and reservoir is 40 m. If the
demand has to be supplied in 8 hrs,
determine the size of the main and
the brake horse power of the pumps
required. Assume maximum demand
as 1.5 times the average demand.
Assume f= 0.03, velocity in the pipe =
2.4 m/s and efficiency of pump =
80%.
