Water is conveyed through a CI main from an impounding reservoir at distance of 18 km


to a service reservoir of a town under a head of 120 m. The quantity delivered is 50 million
litre per day. It is subsequently decided to increase the flow by 50 % and for this to lay an
additional pipeline of the same diameter as the first one for a part of the length running
parallel and cross connected with it. Calculate (a) the size of the main (b) length of the
additional pipeline to be laid. Use Hazen-William formula, take the value of C for the main
as 100 and head loss in cross connection as 1 m.
solution,
Initial discharge = 50 Mld = 0.579 cumec
It is assumed that the total head of 170 m available between the storage reservoir and the
service reservoir is dissipated in overcoming the frictional resistance offered to the flow by
the pipe.
Using Hazen-Williams formula,
V = 0.849 c R0.63∗s 0.54
If d is diameter of the pipe
Q 0.579
V= = , where R=d/4

d=0.65m
Now let a pipe of length equal to l km be added and laid alongside existing pipe of total
length 18 km.
Thus for (18 – l) km length of the initially laid pipe the discharge will be equal to the total
To increase discharge by 50%
New discharge Q= 0.579*1.5=0.868cumec
discharge 0.868 cumec, and then half of the total discharge i.e. 0.434 cumec will be carried by
each of the two pipes viz. the remaining length l of the initially laid pipe and the newly
laid pipe of length l, as both the pipes are of the same diameter.

Hence additional pipe of 10.2km of 0.65m diameter is required.

Williams formula.
