2 questions for water distribution
(OP)
What is chlorine measured in? PPM
How is pressure head caused? water elevation or tower
I am look for a discription to go along with these answers to help me understand them better. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

2. Pressure head is caused by plugging ears, holding nose shut, and blowing hard with mouth closed.
3. Tower.
RE: 2 questions for water distribution
Pressure head is always caused by increase in elevation. This can be achieved either artificially (through a pump or pressurized tank), or real elevation (commonly done with a tower).

(83,000,000)(2/1,000,000) = 166
mg/L = ppm because there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram and 1,000 grams in a kilogram (kg) and 1 liter (L) of water = 1 kg of water (or very, very close).
Head is a function of the elevation (or depth) of the water. I do not know if you saw the article, but just recently scientists filmed some fish swimming around 5 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. At 0.433 psi per foot of water column, that works out to around 11,000 psi pressure head that these fish live in. Imagine what it would be like to have 11,000 pounds per square inch squeezing in from every direction - be a little tough to breath.
