16.11 A water treatment plant has a flow of 6 MGD (22.7 MLD). The plant has 12 identical rapid granular filters operating at a filtration rate of 2 gpm/ft? (81.4 L/min/m2) and a backwash rate of 30 in./min (762 mm/min). Compute the required capacity of an elevated water tank needed to backwash two filter units at a time. Assume a backwash time of 5 min per filter.
