A pumping station at sea level is to supply 18000 m3/hour to the located at an altitude of 1694 m above sea level. The first junction of the distribution network is at 20 km from the banks of the river (where the pumping station is installed). Due to obstacles the piping will be first directed 600 North-East for 5 km, then 450 North-West for 7 km the straight easterly on the remaining distance. Taking into account the possible losses, design the piping and related equipment (valves, flanges, elbows, pumps etc) necessary in a daily water distribution.
