You are tasked with designing a measurement and control system for a water supply system (see: Figure
1). Consider all of the mechanical components of the system to be already installed except the intake
valve and the pump. You must specify the pump, intake valve, any instruments you wish to use, and
whatever control logic and additional controls you intend to use to control the system. To make your life
easier, I have attached a pump curve that will work and a valve coefficient chart. You are free to use or
not use these resources as you see fit. Your objective is to operate the system at minimum cost (i.e.
least energy to the pump). You do not need to calculate the amount or cost of energy, but you should
make a good argument based on the pump specification and the control logic.
