A pumping station wet well operates between 540- and 550-ft elevation. The pump curve is defined by the following points: 80 ft at zero flow, 78 ft at 200 gpm, 65 ft at 800 gpm, and 50 ft at 1200 gpm. The pump discharge contains an equivalent of 50 ft of 6-in. pipe. The discharge pipe is 120-ft long and terminates at a splitter box, elevation 570. Using C = 100, plot the pump curve and the corrected pump curve. Plot the pump discharge curves at each wet well eleva­tion and for C = 100 and C = 140. What is the pump flow at the low and high wet well elevations for new and old pipe?
