Abstract :

With the increase in population, demand of water supply on the civic amenities including water supply for domestic purposes, irrigation, industry etc. has increased. Therefore, identification of sources of water supply, their conservation and optimal utilization is of utmost importance. Pipe water system is one of the best systems to supply water safely, adequately and continuously. To supply adequate, safe and continuous water in areas, regional water supply schemes are formed in which city are served from a common water source through pipe system. They have potential to operate at economy of scale, provide quality service and can also offer long term feasible solution in areas with acute water shortage. In this current paper we present the study of water distribution network for south zone of Surat city and it is carried out using EPANET 2.0.
