The city water manager wants to determine a flow plan that will maximize the flow of water to the city.
(a) Formulate this problem as a maximum flow problem by identifying a source, a sink, and the transshipment nodes, and then drawing the complete network that shows the capacity of each arc.
(b) Use the augmenting path algorithm described in Sec. 10.5 to solve this problem.
(c) Formulate and solve a spreadsheet model for this problem.
