Water System

Question 1

Corona water is supplied by

Answer 1

60% Local well
30% Colorado river
10% State water Project

Question 2

Water pressure in corona is obtained through

Answer 2

Gravity system, direct pumping system, and a combination of both

Question 3

What is Head pressure:

Answer 3

The amount of force created by the height of the water above an orifice

2.304 divided by height = psi

Question 4

What is static pressure

Answer 4

Amount of potential energy available to force water through pipes, hose, fittings or adapters

Question 5

What is Flow Pressure

Answer 5

Amount of forward force found at a discharge opening as water is moving

Question 6

What is residual pressure

Answer 6

Amount of total available pressure not used to overcome Friction Loss or gravity while forcing water through pipes, hose, fittings, or adapters

Question 7

What is Friction Loss

Answer 7

Loss of pressure created by turbulence of water moving against the interior walls of the hose, and against itself, and fluctuations in elevation

Question 8

What is net pump pressure

Answer 8

Actual amount of pressure being produced at the pump
