Objectives
The emerging urban water supply projects in Yunnan Province usually have the unique characteristics of long water delivery pipelines, high lift, large terrain fluctuations along the lines, and high requirements for water supply guarantee. Safe, economical and efficient water supply from the reservoir area has become an important task in water supply projects. Compared with the traditional water pump stations, the floating pump station has the characteristics of short construction period, low construction difficulty, high water intake efficiency, good water quality, safety and reliability, and less affected by water level changes. Taking the practical application of a floating pump station in a water supply project in Yunnan as an example, the design conditions of the floating pump station are mainly discussed from the following three aspects.
