A farmer needs to move water from two irrigation ponds to a 10acre vegetable garden (Figure 1). He has 4500ft of drip line (irrigation pipe) running across his 10acres. The client needs 0.34 gallon per minute per 100 feet of drip tape. The two ponds are 1560 ft and 1760 ft (Figure 1) from the farmhouse at about the same relative elevation head between the three points. The southern pond (red box) is about twice as large as the other pond (green box). Farm House 10h acres FALLE 1560 feet 1760 feet Figure 1: Satellite map of the farm and ponds 10shacres 1560 feet 1760 feet Figure 2: Satellite map of possible pipes schematic setup. The client requests: 1. Propose a pipe/s and pump/s system needed to provide irrigation water the orchard. Options: a pipe system with its own pump from each lake (red and green in Figure 2) or some kind of junction between the lakes and one pipe going to the farm house (blue in Figure 2). Make sure to include location (point in the system) of the pump/pumps in your solution and all other pertinent information the client might need to make final decision. 2. Information regarding on how much water would be used from each pond. Project submission: Submit on Gradescope (one per group student in Project: individual submission): Project: group submission and one for each a) A proposal to the client with best pipe sizing based on your calculations for the current setup. Include: O All calculations (can be submitted as an appendix) by hand or code. o A sketch of the system (something like the systems/figures in the problem sets). b) Analysis of quantity of water extracted from each pond. (Include calculations). c) Project sections: Problem statement (including assumptions), Mathematical Model (equations), Results, Conclusion (include at least 2 options - one per each student in the group) and best recommendation/s (with some cost analysis). You will find on TopHat a tentative rubric.
