What is the total flow rate for the MWS under the described shuttle conditions?

• A. 215 gpm
• B. 260 gpm
• C. 280 gpm
• D. 245 gpm

Answer: (D)

In shuttle operations, the total flow rate from the Mobile Water Supply is the sum of the discharge rates from all lines that are operating at once. When two lines are used together, you add their individual flows to get the overall delivery to the target. Here, the two active lines contribute about 120 gpm and 125 gpm, respectively, giving a combined total of 245 gpm. This reflects the actual water being delivered when both lines work in tandem under these shuttle conditions. The other numbers would only apply if a single line were used or if the individual line rates were different under the same setup, which isn’t the scenario described.
