Three reservoirs are connected by pipes that meet at a junction. Reservoir A (EI. 140 m) is connected through a 200 mm-Ø and 300 m long pipe. Reservoir B (EI. 108 m) is connected through a 350 mm-Ø and 200 m long pipe while Reservoir C (El. 60 m) is connected through a 300 mm-Ø and 600 m long pipe. Use n = 0.011 for all pipes. How many reservoirs act as supplier for this problem and determine the discharge in the lowest reservoir.
