During a camping trip, you see a 30-cm-diameter plastic pipe carrying water
from a high reservoir to a stream in the valley. The difference in height
between the reservoir's free surface and the stream is 70 meters. You come
up with the concept of using this water to generate electricity. Create a power
plant that gets the greatest electricity out of this resource. Also, look at the
impact of electricity production on water discharge rates. What discharge rate
produces the most power?
