A pipeline is to be run from a water treatment plant to a major suburban development 3 km away. The average daily demand for water at the development is 0.0175 m3 /s, and the peak demand is 0.578 m3 /s. Determine the required diameter of ductile iron pipe such that the flow velocity during peak demand is 2.5 m/s. Round the pipe diameter upward to the nearest 25 mm (i.e., 25 mm, 50 mm, 75 mm, and so on). The water pressure at the development is to be at least 340 kPa during average demand conditions and 140 kPa during peak demand. If the water at the treatment plant is stored in a ground-level reservoir where the level of the water is 10.00 m above the mean sea level and the ground elevation at the suburban development is 8.80 m above the mean sea level, determine the pump power (in kilowatts) that must be available to meet the average daily and peak demands.
