Flow Science performed hydraulic and transient analysis for the Los Vaqueros Reservoir project.

The system consists of a 10,000 HP/ 250 cfs and a 10,000 HP/200 cfs pump station, 36,000 ft of 78-inch diameter pipeline, and 28,000 ft of 90-inch pipeline capable of delivering up to 400 cfs from the reservoir to the Contra Costa Canal via a flow control facility consisting of two 54-inch sleeve valves. Recommended surge protection included five-12 ft diameter by 60 ft long surge tanks for the pump stations.
