Trang 8CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
1-1 Purpose
This manual provides design criteria for water
storage requirements at military facilities, gives a
typical design analysis for tanks and reservoirs,
and provides guidance on the procedures to be
fol-lowed in selecting sites for such storage works
The manual covers requirements for treated water
storage in the distribution system, but not the
storage requirements for raw water supplies or
fire deluge systems This manual is applicable to
all elements of the Army and Air Force planning
and designing water storage facilities at fixed
in-stallations
1-2 Objectives of Storage
a Flow requirements Storage should meet peak
flow requirements, equalize system pressures, and
provide emergency water supply The water supply
system must provide flows of water sufficient in
quantity to meet all points of demand in the
distri-bution system To do so, the source must produce
the required quantity and quality, pressure levels
within the distribution system must be high
enough to provide suitable pressure, and water
dis-tribution mains must be large enough to carry
these flows It is usually inefficient and
uneco-nomical to construct the treatment plant and
pumping stations sufficiently large to meet the
largest anticipated water demands A water
treat-ment plant is less efficient if flow rates through
the plant are rapidly varied Water storage
facili-ties are constructed within a distribution network
to meet the peak flow requirements exerted on the
system and to provide emergency storage
b Cost At times it is desirable to know the cost
of constructing water storage for fire protection In
such cases only the actual fire flow for the fire
period will be used in establishing the
proportion-ate share of the total cost of storage Cost of that
portion of the storage required for concurrent
do-mestic, industrial, or special demands that cannot
be curtailed during the fire period will not be
charged to fire protection
c Meeting peak flow requirements Water supply
systems must be designed to satisfy maximum
an-ticipated water demands The peak demands
usu-ally occur on hot, dry, summer days when larger
than normal amounts of water are used for
water-ing lawns and washwater-ing vehicles and equipment In
addition, most industrial processes, especially
those requiring supplies of cooling water, ence greater evaporation on hot days, thus requir-ing more water The water treatment plant canoperate at a relatively uniform rate throughoutthe day of maximum demand if enough storage isavailable to handle variations in water use Thenecessary storage can be provided in elevated,ground, or a combination of both types of storage
experi-d Distribution system pressures.
(1) System pressure requirements.
(a) Minimum pressures Water distribution
system, including pumping facilities and storagetanks or reservoirs, should be designed so thatwater pressures of at least 40 lb/in2
at groundlevel will be maintained at all points in thesystem, including the highest ground elevations inthe service area Minimum pressures of 30 lb/in2
,under peak domestic flow conditions, can be toler-ated in small areas as long as all peak flow re-quirements can be satisfied During firefightingflows, water pressures should not fall below 20 lb/
in2
at the hydrants, in new systems This ment does not constitute justification for changingexisting storage facilities solely for the purpose ofincreasing residual pressures to 20 psi Refer to
require-TM 5-813-6/AFM 88-10, Vol 6 for additionalguidance on minimum residual pressures for fireflow
(b) Maximum pressure Maximum water
pressures in distribution mains and service linesshould not normally exceed 75 lb/in2
at groundelevation Static pressures up to 100 lb/in2
can betolerated in distribution systems in small, low-lying areas Higher pressures require pressure re-ducing valves on feeder mains or individual serv-ice lines to restrict maximum service pressures to
75 lb/in2
(c) Multiple pressure levels If an extensive
area has pressures higher than 75 lb/in2
or lowerthan 40 lb/in2
under a single pressure level uration, it may be appropriate to divide the systeminto two or more separate areas, each having dif-ferent pressure levels Within each level, pressureswithin the distribution system should range from
config-40 to 75 lb/in2
at ground elevation
(2) Pressure distribution with elevated storage.
(a) Elevated storage within the distribution
system permits distribution pumps at the ment plant to operate at uniform rates
treat-1-1
Trang 9(b) The usefulness of elevated storage is
shown in figure 1-1 The system illustrated in
figure 1-1 (A) (without
storage at the plant
system demand rates in
tion rate, assuming the
elevated storage) requiressufficient to provide forexcess of the plant produc-plant is operated at a uni-form rate The pump station forces water into the
service main, through which it is carried to three
load areas: A, B, and C Since all loads on the
system are met without the use of elevated
stor-age, the pump station must be capable of
supply-ing the peak rates of water use to Areas A, B, and
C, simultaneously, while maintaining the water
pressure to Area C at a sufficient level The
mini-mum recommended pressure in the distribution
system under peak nonemergency flow conditions
is 40 lb/in2
Figure l-l(B) assumes the
construc-tion of an elevated storage tank on the service
main between Areas B and C, with peak loads in
Area C and part of the peak load in Area B being
satisfied from this tank The elevation of the tank
ensures adequate pressures within the system The
storage in the tank is replenished when water
de-mands are low and the pump station can fill the
tank while still meeting all flow and pressure
re-quirements in the system The figure 1-1 (B)
ar-rangement reduces required capacity of the
distri-bution pumps
(c) Most elevated storage
the distribution system That is,
tanks “float” onthe elevated tank
is hydraulically connected to the distributionsystem, and the volume of water in the tank tends
to maintain system pressures at a uniform level.When water use is high and pumping facilitiescannot maintain adequate pressures, water is dis-charged from elevated tanks Conversely, whenwater use is low, the pumps, which operate within
a reasonably uniform head-capacity range, supplyexcess water to the system and the elevated stor-age is refilled

pro-vide an emergency supply of water in the eventthe water treatment plant, distribution pumps, or
a principal transmission main is out of service.The amount of emergency storage required de-pends on the reliability of the system and theextent of other safeguards incorporated into thesystem, i.e., finished water interconnections with amunicipality (for either normal or emergency use)

2-1 General
Required storage capacity at military installations
is met by use of elevated or ground storage
Ele-vated storage, feeds the water distribution system
by gravity flow Storage which must be pumped
into the system is generally in ground storage
tanks Clearwell storage, which is usually part of a
water treatment plant, is not included in
comput-ing storage unless sufficient firm pumpcomput-ing
capac-ity is provided to assure that the storage can be
utilized under emergency conditions, and then
only to the extent of storage in excess of the
24-hour requirements of the treatment plant
Clear-well storage is used to supply peak water demand
rates in excess of the production rate, and to
pro-vide a reservoir for plant use, filter backwash
supply, and water supply to the system for short
periods when plant production is stopped because
of failure or replacement of some component or
unit of treatment
2-2 Ground Storage
a General Ground storage is usually located
—
remote from the treatment plant but within the
distribution system Ground storage is used to
reduce treatment plant peak production rates and
also as a source of supply for repumping to a
higher pressure level Such storage for repumping
is common in distribution systems covering a large
area, because the outlying service areas are
beyond the range of the primary pumping
facili-ties
b Type Ground storage tanks or reservoirs,
below ground, partially below ground, or
con-structed above ground level in the distribution
system, may be accompanied by pump stations if
not built at elevations providing the required
system pressure by gravity However, if the
ter-rain permits, this design location of ground tanks
at elevation sufficient for gravity flow is preferred
Concrete reservoirs are generally built no deeper
than 20-25 feet below ground surface If rock is
present, it is usually economical to construct the
storage facility above the rock level In a single
pressure level systems, ground storage tanks
should be located in the areas having the lowest
system pressures during periods of high water use
In multiple pressure level systems, ground storage
tanks are usually located at the interface between
pressure zones with water from the lower pressure
STORAGEzones filling the tanks and being passed to higherpressure zones through adjacent pump stations
2-3 Elevated Storage
a General Elevated storage is provided within
distribution system to supply peak demand ratesand equalize system pressures In general, elevatedstorage is more effective and economical thanground storage because of the reduced pumping re-quirements, and the storage can also serve as asource of emergency supply since system pressurerequirements can still be met temporarily whenpumps are out of service
b Type The most common types of elevatedstorage are elevated steel tanks, and standpipes
An example of a conventional elevated steel tank
is given in figure 2–1 In recent years, elevatedtanks supported by single pedestals, such as shown
in figure 2–2, have been constructed where
esthet-ic considerations are an important part of thedesign process (See American Water Works Asso-ciation D100, Standard for Welded Steel Tanks forWater Storage (app A).)
c Standpipe A standpipe is a tall cylindricaltank normally constructed of steel or reinforcedconcrete Only the portion of the storage volume of
a standpipe that meets the requirements of d
below is considered useful storage for pressureequalization purposes The lower portion of thestorage acts to support the useful storage and toprovide a source of emergency water supply
d Elevated storage Elevated storage tanks
should be located in the areas having the lowestsystem pressures during intervals of high wateruse to be effective in maintaining adequate systempressures and flows during periods of peak waterdemand These are those of greatest water demand
or those farthest from pump stations Elevatedtanks are generally located at some distance fromthe pump station(s) serving a distribution pressurelevel, but not outside the boundaries of the servicearea, unless the facility can be placed on a nearbyhill Additional considerations for siting of elevat-
ed storage are conditions of terrain, suitability ofsubsurface soil and/or rock for foundation pur-poses, and hazards to low-flying aircraft Elevatedtanks are built on the highest available ground, up
to static pressures of 75 lb/in 2
in the system, so as
to minimize the required construction cost andheights
