A new vertical-turbine well pump is being installed to discharge groundwater directly into the pipe network of a small community. Operating head-discharge data based on specifications from the pump manufacturer are 210 gpm discharge at a pump head of 170 ft mea­sured from ground level, 300 gpm at 165 ft, 410 gpm at 150 ft, and 470 gpm at 130 ft. The water pressure at ground level into the pipe network varies from 71 psi to 48 psi, with an average pressure of 64 psi. Plot the head-discharge curve and locate the pressure range and average value. What is the pump discharge against the average pressure of 64 psi?
