FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS OF EXISTING WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK USING WATER GEMS SOFTWARE

Abstract

In present scenario the major problem related to water distribution system (WDS) is available head and required quantity of water. If consumer remain uncertain about availability of water and reduces their confidence on water distribution network so this will lead to consumer harness water through individual bores and hence exploiting water table. In this we are concern about these problems. To overcome these problems we conducted a study for water distribution system (WDS) with help of software WaterGEMS. After the study of WDS we concluded some result, on the basis of these result we further investigated about present and future requirements of people. Then we suggested some modification to the existing water distribution system (WDS). WaterGEMS, hydraulic simulation software tool is used to inspect the water demand and available ferrule point in water distribution network of residential area, Dayanand Vihar. Simulation result obtained from the WaterGEMS software is used to redesign or modify the existing water distribution network. So that, sufficient quantity of water is can be supplied at consumer end point at adequate head and adequate volume of water under any condition over a period of time. Delhi Jal Board is one of the prime water distribution agency in Delhi. A water distribution network for the Dayanand Vihar in East Delhi are is being examined for hydraulic parameter sufficiency and its reliability under various water demands. ORGANISATION OF THE REPORT The study and literature described in this report provides an approach for assessing the performance and reliability of a selected water distribution network for urban residential area. The report consists of a selected water distribution network for urban residential area. The report consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 provides a general overview and objectives of our project work. Chapter 2 provides a synopsis of a detailed review of the relevant literature. Chapter 3 gives the brief introduction of the study area. Chapter 4 provides the methodology of the processing of data using WaterGEMS hydraulic simulation software. The reliability of the network under study and associated hydraulic parameters are also depicted. Chapter 5 iv details the modification of the network. Chapter 6 is about the results and discussion of the hydraulic analysis of the urban residential water distribution network.
