Water Distribution Systems: Typical Wsds

The document discusses water distribution systems which deliver water to consumers in the required quantity and pressure. It describes typical water distribution system layouts including tree-like, grid-iron, radial, and ring systems. Design considerations for distribution reservoirs include location, water level, capacity, and meeting structural and topographic conditions. The planning process for a water distribution system includes obtaining population data, locating water sources, providing storage, designing treatment facilities if needed, planning the distribution layout, and establishing an organization for maintenance and operation.

Distribution Reservoir
used to provide storage to meet fluctuation in demand

to provide storage for firefighting use

to stabilize pressure in the distribution system

Design Considerations
DESIGN OF WATER
Should be located as close to the centre of use

The water level in the reservoir must be high enough to permit DISTRIBUTION
gravity flow at satisfactory pressure

required capacity is as per design of supply requirement


SYSTEM
Water is usually pumped into the reservoir during low demand,
and withdrawn by gravity flow during high demand

Built to meet the topographic and structural conditions at site Water Supply system:

Planning steps
1. Obtain data on, or estimate the future population of 5. Design any water-treatment facilities that may be
the community and study local conditions to necessary to meet water quality requirements
determine the quality of water that must be provided 6. Plan and design the distribution system, including
distribution reservoirs, pumping stations, elevated
2. Locate one or more sources of water of adequate storage, lay-out and size of mains, and location of
quality fire hydrants
3. Provide for necessary storage of water and design 7. Provide for the establishment of an organization
the works required to deliver water from its source to that will maintain and operate the supply,
the community distribution and treatment facilities

4. Determine the Physical, chemical and biological


characteristics of the water and establish water-
quality requirements
