The study presents the hydraulic design and analysis of Rural Water Distribution System (WDS) for Nava shihora region of zone 1 of the state of Gujarat, India. Water supply distribution system is designed for this study for population estimated for future 30 years. LOOP 4.0 and Water Gems v8i software have been used and the results are compared to determine the economical size of pipes for water distribution system. The economical size of pipes of water supply distribution system is designed by considering the constraints; residual pressure at each node, velocity of flow in pipe, head loos in pipes, material of pipes, elevated service reservoir level, peak factor and available commercial pipe diameters. Further water distribution system has been analyzed for extended period simulation (EPS) for the present population scenario for intermittent water supply using Water Gems v8i. Further water supply system is analyzed the residual chlorine concentration at nodes and in the pipe links and also the total cost of water supply system of rural region is estimated.
Abstract-Water is a valuable resource, used as the main raw material by our civilization. This paper concerns for the design of rural water distribution system in developing countries. Approximate 68% population of India is staying in the rural area (census 2011, India). For this study, water supply distribution system is designed for population estimated for future 30 years. The heuristic software LOOP version 4.0 has been used for designing best economical water distribution system. Intermittent water supply planned for the study with considering 100 lpcd water consumption. The economical diameter of water supply distribution system is designed by considering the constraint such as residual nodal pressure, velocity of flow in pipe, pipe material, reservoir level, peak factor and available commercial pipe diameters.
