There are many reason why the “speed” of water is set at certain ranges. One often overlooked fact is that there is a critical speed, and this varies with pipe size, that water will create an aspriation effect which has may pitfalls in water distribution systems.
I can elaborate further, but it is kind of boring and not all the glamore you see in the movies or on TV.
