No wrong answer please. A city with population of 49 x 103 capita in a period of 27 years in advance. The current population is 25 x 103 capita with a daily water consumption of 21 x 103 m³/d. The current and existing water treatment plant (WTP) has design capacity (maximum) of 49 x 103 m/d. Using the arithmetic method in estimating the population of this city, find for how many years will this plant reach its design capacity.

A hydroelectric power generating system is shown in the figure. Water flows from an upper reservoir to a lower one passing through a turbine at the rate of 187 liters per second. The total length of pipe connecting the two reservoirs is 143 m. The pipe diameter is 376 mm and the Hazen-Williams coefficient is 143. The water surface elevations of reservoirs 1 and 2 are 210 m and 68 m, respectively. Determine the power in kW required by the turbine if it is 79% efficient? Neglect minor losses. round your answers in 3 decimal places
