3. a) Draw a Typical flow diagram from River Intake well to Clear Water
Reservoir of a Town Water Supply System and explain function of each unit in
brief.
b) A Water Supply Scheme is proposed for a town with design population of
75,000 @ 150 lpcd including domestic & non-domestic requirements. Water is
to be raised from an intake well & pumped to a cascade aerator. The level of
water in the intake well was 75.5m before pumping and the level of cascade
 aerator is 115.750meters. The drawdown of water level in the intake well was
2.5m during pumping. The length and diameter of the rising main are 300
meters and 300 mm respectively. Combined efficiency of the pump and motor
is 75%. Assume f = 0.04. Calculate the BHP of the pump set.
