i think itcssaec was advising you to go back to 'fundamental' by checking out the basic principle of fluid mechanics. A plumbing reference book may help too. But i not quite sure we have a plumbing book here up to now(plumbing is not exactly civil engineering scope).
Practically, i suggest you install a pressure gauge at the supply to know exactly the pressure of the source. But be cautious if this a permanent design, because this measured may fluctuate quite a fair bit. And my country recommending minimum balance head at highest supply level not less than 4.5m.
