Abstract

Continuous (24X7) water supply systems have generated significant interest in India due to its many advantages. Also, it is useful for conserving water and its quality. Nowadays the demand for drinking water is increasing day by day with a corresponding increase in population. This continuously increasing demand can be fulfilled by designing efficient water distribution networks based on advanced computing systems which include modern hydraulic modeling and designing software.to provide an adequate service, these systems must be carefully planned, designed, managed and maintained. Design of distribution network for continuous (24X7) water supply can be easily achieved with the help of software WaterGEMS, which is used for water distribution modeling and management. WaterGEMS is a very useful hydraulic modeling software package with the advancements in the interoperability, optimization of networks in addition to, model building supported with geospatial tools and asset management tools. In this paper, the design methodology adopted to design a distribution network for continuous water supply on software WaterGEMS is discussed.
