  To solve the problem, we can use the Darcy-Weisbach equation to calculate the pressure drop and the discharge in each pipe. The equation is as follows:

?P = f * (L/D) * (? * V^2) / 2

Where:
?P is the pressure drop
f is the friction factor
L is the length of the pipe
D is the diameter of the pipe
? is the density of water
V is the velocity of water

Let's calculate the pressure drop between points A and B:

Given data:
Diameter (D) = 300 mm
Water flow rate = 0.82 m^3/s
Kinematic viscosity (?) = 1.52 × 10^-6 m^2/s
