Abstract

Water shortage is one of the most important challenges as the population grows demand for water increases. To fulfil the demand a water-efficient water distribution network must be required. Design of a water distribution network is an important task for designers that network should be sufficient to provide adequate water with minimum pressure, velocity and Flow. The 24x7 water supply is delivered continuous water services 24 hr a day, every day of the year to the consumers. In this study, WaterGEMS software is used to analyse the existing water distribution network. WaterGEMS is a software programme for designing and analysing water supply networks. The pressure heads at each node, flow, velocity in each pipe and hydraulic gradient etc. These all hydraulic parameters are analysed by using WaterGEMS software. It was found that the flow in-network is adequate to provide a sufficient amount of water.
