A pump is necessary to lift water from the clear well


A pump is necessary to lift water from the clear well (reservoir) at a water treatment plant to a storage tower 50-ft high and some distance away. A flow rate of 15 cubic per second (cfs) is required (68F). The 15-inch pipeline (ks/D=0.00008) between the two reservoirs is 1500-ft long and contains minor losses that amount to 15 times the velocity head. Determine the pressure head required from the pump.
