This tank will receive water from the water source located at elevation 30 m. The trunk main system will start at the water source with a gravity pipe followed by a pumped system. Data regarding the population evolution and average water consumption are presented in the table. Given these conditions determine: a) The design flow for the gravity pipe considering a daily peak factor. (1,5 points) b) Determine the range of the technically viable diameters, indicating which commercial diameters are available. (1,5 points) c) Draw a scheme of the energy line of the system, from the water source to the tank, for two of the technically viable diameters calculated in b). Adjust the location of the pumping station if needed. (1,0 points) Pipes will be built using High Density Poliethylen (HDPE), with a K S =110 m 1/3 s -1 and the following range of commercially available nominal diameters: 63, 80, 90, 110, 15, 140, 160, 00, 50, 315, 400 and 500 mm. Assume that the diameters correspond to internal diameters.
Problem II (4,0 points) The stretch A-B from the wastewater drainage system presented in Figure needs to designed. The pipe material to be used will be corrugated Polyvinyl Chlorine (PVC) (K s =85 m 1/3 s -1 ). The upstream main pipe drains a population of 000 inhabitants and there is a branch connected to manhole A that drains wastewater from 00 inhabitants. The upstream pipe as a 00 mm diameter and the depth of this pipe at the entrance of manhole A is of 1,0 m, measured to the top of the pipe. Cx. A Cx.

EXTRACT FROM DECRETO REGULAMENTAR Nº 3/95, 3 DE AGOSTO REGULAMENTO GERAL DOS SISTEMAS PÚBLICOS E PREDIAIS DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO DE ÁGUA E DE DRENAGEM DE ÁGUAS RESIDUAIS Artigo 133.º Hydraulic and sanitary sizing 1. In the hydraulic and sanitary sizing the folowing rules should be adopted: a) Maximum velocity for peak flow in design year is 3 m/s for domestic sewer networks and 5 m/s for combined and stormwater systems.; b) The minimum velocity in year 0 is 0,6 m/s for domestic sewer networks and 0.9 m/s for combined and separate stormwater systems. c) If the constraints of b) are not met, the slope needs to be changes until the limits set in b) are met for full section flow. d) In combined and separate stormwater systems the flow height for the maximum velocity mentioned in a) should equal the diameter of the pipe.; e) In domestic sewers the flow height should not exceed 0.5 of the diameter for diameters equal or lower thtan 500 mm, and 0.75 for diameters higher than 500 mm.; f) Slope should be between 0.3% and15%; g) Slopes lower than 0.3% can be accepted as long as the leveling of the pipe, stability and transport capacity are guarateed. h) When there is the need to install pipes with a slope higher than 15% special devices to secure the pipes should be ensured. 5
