The ground level of the water pressure control point in a certain water distribution network is 36 m, with a service head of 20 m. A water tower is to be constructed; the head loss in the pipes from the water tower to the control point is approximately 8 m. Since the ground level at the water tower is also 36 m, what is the height of the water tower? Solution: The height of the bottom of the water tank in the water tower above the ground level is: Ht = Hc + hn – (Zt – Zc) = 20 + 8 – (36 + 36) = 28 m; therefore, the height of the water tower is 28 meters.
The height of the bottom of the water tower’s water tank above the ground level is: Ht = Hc + hn – (Zt – Zc) = 20 + 8 – (36 + 36) = 28 m; therefore, the height of the water tower is 28 meters.
The height of the bottom of the water tower’s reservoir above the ground level is: Ht = Hc + hn – (Zt – Zc) = 20 + 8 – (36 + 36) = 28 m. Therefore, the height of the water tower is 28 meters.
