Design of Water Distribution System by using JalTantra Software

Design of pipe distribution networks for villages require considerations to ensure that the system is effective and sustainable. Water distribution network is a system of engineered hydrologic and hydraulic components which supplies water from the source to the required area. In the design of a water distribution network, it is crucial that the network supplies the forecast-ed demands with enough residual heads at all nodes of the network during the entire design period. However, with the increasing change in future scenarios, either the nodal demands change or the water distribution network falls short to meet the increasing demands. Therefore, we require a proper analysis of water networks to strengthen them for the future. In situations like this, software plays a major role in analyzing water distribution networks to make it work as per the design. The present study is an effort to analyze the water supply network using available software, it proposes hydraulic simulation model for water distribution network analysis and comparison of results.
