RiverDemand for Desert FarmingQ = 1000 cfsZ = 10 ftPressure required = 20 psi30 ftPipeline Length L = 80 milesPVelocity in the pipeline must be within 1 to 2.5 m/s (to be self cleansing and nonerosive)Max pressure allowed in the pipeline = 100 psiAquifer Water Table, Z=0 ftDesign the Water Transfer System. The system must minimize the cost1)Design the pump station (select pump power)2)Design the pipeline (material and diameter) Consider the following major cost components•Upfront construction cost (labor and material)•Energy costsEnergy costs occur annually. They must be converted to “present value” before they can be used to estimate the total costsAssume an inflation rate of 3% over a design life of 30 yearsA mega water transfer project is proposed to irrigate a desert farm 80 miles away from the water source
