Solution of Transmission Problems of a Water System

Some of the problems commonly experienced in the design of the transmission and distribution elements of a water system are solved in this paper which presents a rational method involving an expansion of the graphical solution first suggested by the late John R. Freeman, Past-President and Hon. M. Am. Soc. C. E. A brief summary is given of the many variable and, from a practical standpoint, sometimes indeterminate, factors that must be considered in assembling the data upon which the design must be based. General cases are presented giving the solution of the more common problems encountered in design, with an illustration of the use of several of these general cases in the solution of a typical design problem.
