Design Criteria
Pipe's material = C.L.M.S.
Hazen-williams coefficient C = 100
Total planar length of pipeline L 15,000 m

Allow for cross-country undulating profile

for minor friction losses (%) = 20.00% of Planar Length

Thus, equivalent length Le = 3,000 m

Design length of pipeline Ld = L+Le

= 18,000 m

Tapping Point
Safe Water Pressure at tapping source SWP = 60.00 m ODL

Supply Point
Platform Level @ source point PL = 37.00 m ODL
Note: Supply point is at Suction Tank
within development site

Platform Level @ Supply Point TWL = 40.00 m ODL

Required Residual Pressure above TWL Rp = 10.00 m

hence
Required Supply Level (min) @ supply point RSL = TWL+Rp
= 50 m ODL

Allow head loss through Meter Hfm = 0.00 m
Allow head loss through inlet valve Hfb = 0.00 m

Thus, allowable total frictional loss Hf = SWP-RSL-Hfb-Hfm

= 10.00 m
= 0.56 m/km
= 5.56E-04 m/m run

Water Demand
Ultimate Demand Qa = 441,000 CuM/day
= 98.00 Mgd

Number of pipelines to be adopted Np = 2 No(s)

Recalculate Demand per pipeline Qr = Qa/Np

= 220,500 CuM/day
= 49.00 Mgd
Operating hours
Designed transmission flow time t = 24 hour(s)
Peak flow factor pf = 1.2

Design Flow Qd = (pf*Qr)/(3600*t)

3.06 CuM/sec

From Hazen-Williams
Major frictional loss Hf = [10.6*Qd^1.85]
C^1.85*Di^4.87

Thus, initial diameter of pipe Di = 2.013 m

adopt D = 2.100 m

Recalculate Major frictional loss

Frictional loss Hf2 = 0.00045 m/m run
0.45 m/km

Velocity V = 0.88 m/sec

Residual Pressure @ supply point

Recalculate residual pressure above Top Water Rp = 11.86 m
Level (TWL) = 51.86 m ODL
okay
