A pump takes 10C liquid water in from a river at 95 kPa and pumps it up

Question:

A pump takes 10C liquid water in from a river at 95 kPa and pumps it up to an irrigation canal 20 m higher than the river surface. All pipes have diameter of 0.1 m and the flow rate is 15 kg/s. Assume the pump exit pressure is just enough to carry a water column of the 20 m height with 100 kPa at the top. Find the flow work into and out of the pump and the kinetic energy in the flow.
