ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF WATER DISTRIBUTION NETWORK FOR AL-SAMOU' TOWN

Abstract

Alsamou' town faces big problems in water supply and water services due to population growth. Hence, the water distribution network is not servicing all the areas in the town, and many pipes are old. The people in the town depend mainly on water coming through the network and on water tanking and constructed cisterns for water supply. In view of this bad condition, the need for water supply scheme that will supply the entire area of Al-Samou' town with water requirements become pressing, and subsequently this work was conducted to study and evaluate the present situation and redesign of the existing water distribution network using water-cad software.

The present study considered the annual population growth and their water demand for the coming 25 years that will be the design period, along. The hydraulic calculation needed for the design of the main and sub main pipelines was carried out using water-cad software version 6.5.

By the end the project, a complete design for water distribution network for Al-Samou' town will be ready along with bill of quantities, cost estimate, and the suggested phases of construction.
