The desired minimum flow rate is 1500 gal/min. The tank is to be set back 125 ft. from the river bank.

Ummm…… okay.

What exactly is the question? Do you want the required work of the pump? Do you want the pressure requirement? What size piping? Any bends, tees, control valves, allowed pressure drop through the piping? What about impeller size? Do you have a pump curve?

What class is this for? It matters, depending if this is math, chemical engineering, or fluid mechanics.

More info and I can help!

Himalayan Rivers get the snow melt water in summer and hence are perennial. They are Sindhu (Indus ), Ganga (Ganges) & Brahmaputra and their tributaries except some of the tributaries (Chambal, Betwa and Sone) of Ganga.
The peninsular rivers (mainly Narmada, Tapati, Godavari, Krishna, Kaveri and all their tributaries) are born in either the Vindhya – Satpura mountain ranges (Narmada & Tapati) running east-west across the middle of India or the rest are born in the Western Ghats mountains running parallel, wall-like along west coast. Such rivers sustain on Monsoon rains (June to September), at times flooding their basin areas. But the water level drops in summer (though they have some water). Peninsular mountain ranges are in the tropics unlike the Himalayas and are at a far lesser heights with no snow on their peaks.

It’s a drainage basin.

It can also be called a catchment basin, water basin, river basin, watershed or drainage system.

I have seen on tv how the people in boats will wear helmets. They will talk of how they or people they know have suffered bad head injuries from these. I bet they could knock the daylights out of a person. These carp look to be big too. We should catch them and feed them to hungry people, seriously.

They were the major routes of transportation prior to trains and automobiles. Think about how far you could go today without the highway system. Before cars, they were the highway system. Major cities sprang up near river ports. The rivers were used to move people and goods from one place to another. Economically speaking, they provided a basis for industry (hydroelectricity, shipbuilding, dockworkers, transporting goods) and basic infrastructure (water, sewage, irrigation).

Thanks.

More 11,000 years ago
Back then the Mississippi River was fed by melting glaciers which add a lot more sediment than what the river carries today
