At night, water is pumped from a treatment plant reservoir through distribution piping to an elevated storage tank. Using the energy equation, calculate the pump discharge pressure required to supply a flow of 1000 gpm to the tank. Assume no other withdrawals from the system. The water surface in the supply reservoir is at 10-ft elevation; the lift-pump elevation is 20 ft; the water level in the elevated tank is 140 ft. The pipe network may be considered equivalent to 5000 ft of 10-in.-diameter cast-iron pipe, C = 100.
