ASSUMPTIONS
2.1 DESIGN PERIOD
The design period of Water Distribution System of “Future Vision Housing Society” is
not fixed. Design Period is related to the population, I am taking for design purpose.
2.2 PER CAPITA PER DAY WATER CONSUMPTION
Per capita per day water consumption can be defined as the quantity of water
consumed by one person in one day.
Per Capita Water Consumption = 300+20Y
Y = Sum of last two digits of roll number
So,
Per Capita Water Consumption = 300+20(4+8)
= 300+20(12) = 540 lpcd
2.3 POPULATION FOR DESIGN PURPOSE
The maximum population gives to me according to my roll number is as follows.
-
Present
Population
Maximum
Population
Persons/Plot 7 12
Persons/Apartment 400 500
Persons/Flat 200 400
12. 7
2.4 POPULATION AND WATER CONSUMPTION CRITERION
FOR SCHOOL, DISPENSORY ETC.
WATER CONSUMPTION FOR W.C Persons
School 50 (lpcd) 200
Dispensary 60 (lpcd) 50
Commercial area 3 (liter/m2/day) -
Open spaces 8 (liter/m2/day) -
2.5 CALCULATIONS OF WATER CONSUMPTION FOR:
PLOTS:
Water consumption for plots = 540 lpcd × 12 persons × 282 plots
= 1827360 L/day
APARTMENTS:
Water consumption for apartments = 540 lpcd × 500 persons × 3 apartments
= 810000 L/day
FLATS:
Water consumption for flats = 540 lpcd × 400 persons × 3 flats
= 648000 L/day
SCHOOL
Water consumption for school = 50 lpcd × 200 students
= 10000 L/day
DISPENSARY:
Water consumption for dispensary = 60 lpcd × 50 patients
= 3000 L/day
13. 8
COMMERCIAL AREA
Commercial area - 1 on plan = 2.3 cm × 0.6 cm = 23 m × 6 m = 138 m2
Commercial area - 2 on plan = 2.3 cm × 0.6 cm = 23 m × 6 m = 138 m2
Commercial area - 3 on plan = 1.7 cm × 0.8 cm = 17 m × 8 m = 136 m2
Commercial area - 4 on plan =
1.7+1.8
2
cm × 0.6 cm = 17.5 m × 6 m = 140 m2
Total Commercial area = 138 m2 + 138 m2 + 136 m2 + 140 m2 = 552 m2
Water consumption for commercial area = 3 (liter/m2/day) × 552 m2
= 1656 L/day
OPEN SPACES
Open spaces include Parks, Grave yard, treatment plant and disposal system. There
is small quantity of water required for these places, (watering the plants in parks).
For Parks
Area of Park-1 = 5.1 cm × 1.3 cm = 51m × 13m = 663 m2
Area of Park-2 = 5.3 cm × 3.1 cm = 53m × 31m = 1643 m2
Area of Park-3 = 3.4 cm ×
2.3+1.8
2
cm = 34m × 20.5m = 697 m2
Total area of parks = 663 m2 + 1643 m2 + 697 m2 = 3003 m2
For Grave Yard
Area of Grave Yard = 2.4 cm × 1.3 cm = 24m × 13m = 312 m2
For Water Treatment plant and Disposal Station
Area = 6.1 cm ×
3.1+2.1
2
cm = 61m × 26m = 1586 m2
Total Area of open spaces = Area of Park + Area of Grave Yard + Area of W.T and D.S
= 3003 m2 + 312 m2 + 1586 m2
= 4901 m2
Water consumption for Open Spaces = 8 (liter/m2/day) × 4901 m2
= 39208 L/day
14. 9
2.6 TOTAL WATER CONSUMPTION
Total W. C = W.C for plots + W.C for apartments + W.C for flats + W.C for school +
W.C for dispensary + W.C for commercial area + W.C for open Spaces
= 1827360 + 810000 + 648000 + 10000 + 3000 + 1656 + 39208 L/day
= 3339224 L/day
=
3339224
24 ×60 ×60
L/sec
= 38.648 L/sec
2.7 AVERAGE DAY W.C: MAXIMUM DAY W.C: PEAK HOURS W.C
We are using the criterion given by water and sanitation agency (WASA) which is
given below.
Average day W.C : Max day W.C = 1 : 1.5
Average day W.C : Peak hour W.C = 1 : 2.25
2.8 AVERAGE DAY WATER CONSUMPTION
Average day water consumption = 3339224 L/day = 38.648 L/sec
2.9 MAXIMUM DAY WATER CONSUMPTION
Max. day water consumption = 1.5 × avg. day water consumption
= 1.5 × 3339224 L/day
= 5008836 L/day = 57.972 L/sec
2.10 PEAK HOUR WATER CONSUMPTION
Peak hour water consumption = 2.25 × avg. day water consumption
= 2.25 × 3339224 L/day
= 7513254 L/day = 86.958 L/sec
*NOTE: All the flows are in L/ sec because input data of EPANET software should be in L/ sec
or in L/min.
18. 13
3.2 DESIGN EQUATION USED:
In EPANET software I used “Hazen William” Equation to find out Head losses.
HL = 𝟏𝟎. 𝟔𝟓 ×
𝐐 𝟏.𝟖𝟓 × 𝐋
𝐂 𝟏.𝟖𝟓 × 𝐃 𝟒.𝟖𝟕
Where,
H = Head loss (m/km)
Q = Discharge (m/sec)
C = Roughness Coefficient
L = Length of pipe (m)
D = Diameter of pipe (m)
3.3 HEIGHT OF OHR AND CAPACITY OF OHR
Height of OHR
Height of overhead reservoir is 19.75 m from the ground surface and
0.25 m depth is kept in the OHR is kept for settlement of sediments (Silt & clay
etc.)
Capacity of OHR
We know that.
For electric pump
Capacity of overhead reservoir = 1/6 of the daily avg. W.C.
Capacity of overhead reservoir =
1
6
× 3339224 L/day
= 556537.333 liters
≈ 557 m3
19. 14
For diesel pump
Capacity of overhead reservoir = 1/4 of the daily avg. W.C.
Capacity of overhead reservoir =
1
4
× 3339224 L/day
= 834806 liters
≈ 835 m3
3.4 NUMBER OF TUBE WELLS INSTALLED
In this Housing Society, I provided two tube wells keeping the condition of
load shedding in mind, one of the tube well is working on Electricity and other one is
working on Diesel -engine. The tube wells are located in the central Park of the society.
3.5 TYPES OF PIPE USED IN THE SCHEME
In the Design of Water Distribution System, we Used Two types of pipes
Cast Iron Pipes
Cast iron pipes used only some specific places, one of the pipe is used to transport
water from Tube well to Over Head Reservoir and second pipe is used to transport water
from Over Head Reservoir to node number 1.
The Hazen Williams coefficient for cast iron pipe is 100.
20. 15
Polyethylene (PE) Pipes
Except upper mentioned two places all other pipes are Polyethylene (PE) pipes.
Polyethylene pipes have following characteristics
Easy to install, easy to handle.
Cheaper in material cost.
Chemical resistance.
Corrosion free.
Smooth inner wall surface.
Durable, long lasting.
Expected life is 40 years
The Hazen Williams coefficient for cast iron pipe is 140.
3.6 DIAMETER OF PIPES
In the design of water distribution system, I used pipes of various diameter.
In design, I preferred pipe diameters which are easily available in Pakistan.
The pipe diameters I used in deign are as follows.
80 mm
100 mm
21. 16
150 mm
200 mm
250 mm
300 mm
350 mm
3.7 INCREMENT IN PIPE DIAMETER
Increment in pipe diameter is generally in multiple of 50 mm.
3.8 MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM VELOCITY IN W/ S PIPES
Generally, in water supply system the velocities should not exceed 1m/sec but the
maximum limit is 2m/sec and velocities should not less, that it causes difficulties to the
residents.
3.9 PRESSURE IN THE PIPES
The pressure in the water distribution system varies with water consumption.
During peak hours, there is minimum pressure in the pipes.
Maximum pressure occurs during low W.C. hours.
In design, maximum pressure in pipes is 20 m at the bottom of over head reservoir
and minimum pressure should be 15m at the farthest points of scheme during peak hours.
3.10 COVER ON PIPES
The term “cover on pipes” can be defined as the clear distance between ground
surface to the pipe.
In design, 1 m or (3 feet – 4 feet) cover on pipes is provided.
The basic purpose of this cover is the safety of the pipes.
3.11 PLACEMENT OF VALVES
FUNCTION
The functions of different types of vales are as follows
To regulate the flow
To regulate the pressure
To cutting the supply for repairing purposes
22. 17
To permits the water flow only in one direction
To drain the sediments from pipes
To break vacuum and to release entrapped air
3.11 LOCATION OF VALVES
In design two gate valves are provided at the junction of 4 or 3 pipes and one gate
vale is provided at the junction of 2 pipes.
One vales provided for each fire hydrant.
One “Check valve” is provided between OHR and Tube Wells to prevent back flow.
3.12 PLACING OF FIRE HYDRANT
PURPOSE
The basic purpose of fire hydrant is to supply
water for firefighting.
Fire hydrants should have at least 2 hose
outlets and a larger pump outlet.
Fire hydrant is provided at 1m-2m from the
edge of the road and at least 0.5m high.
LOCATION
In this design, I provided one fire hydrant near the
school.

DESIGN OF WATER DISTRIBUTION
SYSTEM
4.1 EPANET SOFTWARE
BRIEF INTRODUCTIONOF SOFTWARE
EPANET is a computer program that performs extended period simulation of
hydraulic and water quality behavior within pressurized pipe networks. A network consists
of pipes, nodes (pipe junctions), pumps, valves and storage tanks or reservoirs. EPANET
tracks the flow of water in each pipe, the pressure at each node, the height of water in each
tank.
EPANET is designed to be a research tool for improving our understanding of the movement
and fate of drinking water constituents within distribution systems. It can be used for many
different kinds of applications in distribution systems analysis. Sampling program design,
hydraulic model calibration. EPANET can help assess alternative management strategies for
improving water quality throughout a system. These can include:
Altering source utilization within multiple source systems,
Altering pumping and tank filling/emptying schedules,
Running under Windows, EPANET provides an integrated environment for editing network
input data, running hydraulic and water quality simulations, and viewing the results in a
variety of formats. These include color-coded network maps, data tables, time series graphs,
and contour plots.
SALIENT FEATURES
Full-featured and accurate hydraulic modeling is a prerequisite for doing effective water
quality modeling. EPANET contains a state-of-the-art hydraulic analysis engine that includes
the following capabilities:
Color-coded network maps.
Places no limit on the size of the network that can be analyzed
Computes friction head loss using the Hazen-Williams, Darcy Weisbach, or Chezy-
Manning formulas
Includes minor head losses for bends, fittings, etc.
Models constant or variable speed pumps
Computes pumping energy and cost
Models various types of valves including shutoff, check, pressure regulating, and
flow control valves
25. 20
Allows storage tanks to have any shape (i.e., diameter can vary with height)
Considers multiple demand categories at nodes, each with its own pattern of time
variation
Models pressure-dependent flow issuing from emitters (sprinkler heads)
Can base system operation on both simple tank level or timer controls and on
complex rule-based controls.
LIMITATIONS
EPANET is a good software for the design of water supply but it has some limitations.
This software is not able to calculate water hammer.
Can’t simulate pipe bursting.
This software cannot evaluate the consequences of the presence of air inside
the network.
Need to be careful with units.
There is no undo button.
Dose not include material list.
This software can’t show Nodes and pipes on scale.
4.2 PROCEDURE
Following are the steps to design water distribution system
1. Get the hard copy of plan (map) of housing society.
2. Draw the pipes on the either one side of the streets such that all the area (plots) are
covered and gave number to each pipe.
3. At the junction point of two or more pipes make a node and named them with
numbering.
4. Now take color pencils and allocate the plots or area to each node by shading the
region.
*note: allocate the full area to one node means that full park area, or full apartment should
be allocated to one node.
5. Now find the discharge at nodes by using water consumption per person, persons
per plot, and number of plots (same for all other allocated types of facilities) and
sum them.
6. Now Launch EPANET.exe.
7. Start New Project.
8. Click View>Options to enter Map Options dialogue box and select the notation tab,
there check all the boxes except the ‘Use transparent text’.
9. Click Project>Analysis Options to open Hydraulic Options dialogue box. Set Units of
Flow to ‘LPS’ (Liters per second).
26. 21
10. In the same box enter the ‘Demand Multiplier value’ 2.25 for peak hourly demand.
11. Back drop the plan (map) of the society, by clicking View>Back drop>load select file.
12. Draw the Nodes at their location as you drawn on hard copy map and label them by
double-clicking on each node and editing its ‘Junction ID’.
13. Now draw the Network links/pipes. The initial point asked by program is the starting
junction of Link.
14. The next step is to introduce a tank (Over Head Reservoir).
15. Connect the tank to (junction-1) with a (link - 31)
16. Now we have to provide information to the software about each node, pipe and tank
by double clicking the element and provide information in properties table.
17. Up till now we provided all the basic data to the software.
18. Save the project.
19. Now click on Project>Run Analysis to start Analysis. A ‘Run Status’ message box will
appear. If Run is unsuccessful then check whether you have not missed any step or
provided wrong data.
20. When Run is successful then click ‘OK’.
21. Make sure at the farthest ends, the pressure in 15 m, if not change the diameter of
pipes and again run analysis if you got pressure near 15 m good enough then
proceed to next step.
22. The next step is to view the results.
23. Report>Full (To generate a report of all results, in Word Format.)
24. Use ‘Map’ tab on ‘Browser’ window for viewing results in color coded form with the
help of ‘Legend’.
25. Use table format by Report>Table. Select whether you want to view results for
‘Network Nodes’ or ‘Network Links’.

CONCLUSIONS
5.1 YOUR VIEWS ON THE DRAWING
This design work of water distribution system is done with great care and I am
confident that this design will fulfill all the requirements of society without causing any
trouble.
If someone want to improve this work I would like him to work on new software
called WATER-CAD.
In this design, we did not do water quality analysis (chlorination demand) on EPANET
software for society, water distribution system.
