For many water distribution systems, pumps are an integral component necessary for providing adequate customer service. Although pump selection involves different disciplines, it should be the responsibility of the water system engineer to define the hydraulic specifications for distribution system pumps. Defining the hydraulic specifications for a pump requires a thorough understanding of pump operation as well as the requirements and limitations of the distribution system. System curves have been an instrumental element in the development of pump specifications. Although system curves provide a convenient graphical representation of the head required from a pump for a given flow, the application of such curves has hidden pitfalls. Includes figures.
