Three reservoirs are connected at a junction, P, as shown. Reservoir A, whose surface elevation is at 60.0 metersfrom a given datum, discharges water at a rate of Q1 to junction P. Reservoir B, whose surface elevation is at 20.0m, then receives water from the junction at a rate of Q2, while Reservoir C, whose surface elevation is at 0.0 m,then receives water from the same junction at a rate of Q3.
