  • Rahul,

    A pump is used when you need to add energy to the system to increase the downstream pressure or pump to a tank at a higher elevation. Sushma noticed that the reservoir water level was much, much higher than all the junction elevations, which suggests that a pump is not needed since the pressure is already very high even with just the reservoir. If the actual node elevations are much lower though, then the pump may be required to keep adequate pressures. Note that you can import elevation data using Terrain Extractor.

    As for the errors, as Sushma mentioned, they are due to the pump pointing in the wrong direction (toward the reservoir) and because of some elements that are not physically connected to the model. You can use Network Navigator to locate such elements. I also noticed that the pipe between the reservoir and the pump is very small causing a large headloss, so you may need to correct the diameter.
