From previous manipulations of the Hazen Williams Eq.:
[0.278 C D ] 1.85
Q k Q k

i.e. Qi = Q1 + Q2 = Qo
2. Headloss by any pathway between two junctions must
be equal
i.e. H1 = H2
There are two methods of analysis and solution because
there are two "balance" criteria:
i) balancing flows
ii) balancing headlosses
q
as Q ⇒ 0 (i.e. estimates of Q improve) the third term and
beyond becomes much smaller than the first two terms
q
because Q is raised to a power ∴ neglect the third term
and beyond
