Water flows from the reservoir on the left to the reservoir on the right at a rate

Question:

Water flows from the reservoir on the left to the reservoir on the right at a rate of 16 cfs. Th e formula for the head losses in the pipes is hL = 0.02(L/D)(V 2/2g). What elevation in the left reservoir is required to produce this flow? Also carefully sketch the HGL and the EGL for the system. Assume the head-loss formula can be used for the smaller pipe as well as for the larger pipe. Assume α = 1.0 at all locations.
