Determine the gross water supply reservoir volume for the following information:
City population: 200,000
Water consumption rate: 568 Lpcd
Catchment area: 103 Km2
Rainfall rate: 110cm/yr
Average Class A pan evaporation: 7.5 mm/day
Free surface evaporation coefficient: 0.7
Soil surface evaporation coefficient: 0.5
Minimum net reservoir volume: 50% of annual yield or half of a year water supply whichever is greater.
If during the droughts 25% of water required is supplied from a deep well field, how many deep wells with 30 liter/second discharge are required if each well supplies water for 12 hours per day. (3 Marks)
2. How much energy in KJ is liberated when 1 mm of evaporated wastewater is condensed on the half empty space of a main concrete pipe with 900 mm diameter? The wastewater temperature is assumed as 30 degree of Celsius.
a. What is the implication of condensation in the above sewer system?
b. How the impacts can be alleviated? (2 Marks)
3. Estimate the capacity of the following water supply scheme if the future population estimated as 30,000 persons with 568 Lpcd and fire fighting capacity of 3875 L/min for 2 hours. If 30% of supplied water is retained within the consumption areas ( as garden water,…) determine daily average, daily maximum and daily minimum of wastewater using both tabulated coefficients and Peaking Factors using Gifft’s formula.

5. A main sewer pipe with n = 0.014 is laid on a slope of 0.0002 and is to carry 0.35 m3/s of wastewater when the pipe flows 0.4 full.
a. Determine full flow discharge
b. Determine the diameter of the sewer and full flow velocity
c. Determine self cleansing discharge, slope and velocity when
c-1: N/n is equal one
c-2: N/n is variable
d. Briefly discuss
d-1: which case, c-1 or c-2, occurs in reality?
d-2: what possible problem this sewer will face in future?
d-3: what are the solutions to the problem considering the slope being inflexible? (3 Marks)
