2. Water Supply Network (a) A water supply system delivers potable water from the water treatment plants to households. Discuss in detail the requirements of a water supply network for a new housing estate development. [5 marks] (b) The water supply pipe network shown in Figure Q2 represents a spray rinse system with details on initial flow and characteristic of each pipe. Find the water flow rates in each pipe after one iteration by using the Hardy-Cross method. Take the diameter of all pipes as 300 mm. Hint: Use the Darcy-Weisbach equation to determine the friction loss for pipe flow. Assume f = 0.005 and neglect all separation losses (i.e. entry and exit losses) for all pipes.
