Using the examples provided on excel and powerpoint answer the following question:

An area with population densities d1 = 1000 people/km2 and d2 = 3000 people/km2 is served by the water distribution network shown below. Assuming cast iron pipes, water at 4°C, an average demand of Qmax day = 300L/day/person and a peak factor of 1.5, calculate the flow rates and velocities in each pipe in L/s and m/s, respectively, as well as pressures at the nodes in kPa.
