I guess what I'm asking is how do you typically show the balancing in a setup like this?
I've calculated them both. Then I plug the overhead system into the trench as a k-factor. But I've never had to deal with the overhead being supplied before the pumps. My calc program says they systems work together but the graph looks like it would be way above the supply curve.

I'm working on a AFFF hangar system where the new trench system is charged by fire pumps and the existing overhead is fed direct from the city supply on the opposite side of the building.
