Publication: Urbanization Challenges in Emerging Economies: Energy and Water Infrastructure; Transportation Infrastructure; and Planning and Financing
ABSTRACT
Water distribution networks are designed to deliver water from a source in the adequate quantity and at satisfactory pressure to individual consumers. To solve any problem, design of new or upgradation of existing water distribution network is to be necessary. So, such type of problem can be solved using LOOP 4.0, STANET, EPANET 2.0, and WATERGEMS software. Surat City facing problems like water scarcity and pressure fluctuation so for study purpose Punagam area is selected for analyzing the existing water distribution network using WATERGEMS V8i. The objective of our study is to analyze the existing water distribution network of Punagam area using WATERGEMS V8i and to recommend some measures if present network does not fulfil the present and future demand. The results obtained verified that the pressures at all junctions and the flows with their velocities at all pipes are feasible enough to provide adequate water to the network of the study area.
