Question: Water flows under gravity between an impounding reservoir and a service reservoir, through a 1 0 0 0 m long pipe of 2 2 0

Water flows under gravity between an impounding reservoir and a service reservoir, through a 1000 m long pipe of 220 mm diameter and ks =0.13 mm. The difference in level of the water surfaces in the reservoirs is 110 m and the operating flow rate is 285 l/s. Assume
u =1\times 106
m2/s.
Immediate future demands will necessitate an increase in the maximum flow rate between the 2 reservoirs of 20%. A pump will be used to boost the flow in the existing main. Electricity supply is available and the pump motor will run at 1500 rev/min (rpm).
