Analyses And Design Of Water Distribution Network For Beit Kahel Village

Abstract

Beit Kahel village is located in Hebron district in the West Bank- Water shortage, water demand in the village are increasing from year to year due to increase in the population. At the same time, the existing water distibution network is insufficient to meet the water demand because beside the limited quantities of water supplid , many of the pipelines are old , for the same reason, the supply of water is rationed by ration in view of this situation , it is necessary to study and evaluate the existing water supply system , and propose a new network for the next (25) years , that meet the water demand and provid the people in the Beit Kahel village (24) hours water supply , and this is the interest of this project . This project is conducted to study the water distribution network for the Beit Kahel village cooresponding to the water demand in the near future and a ccordance with a hight population growth , and considerable increas in per capita water requirements. vi The calculations necessary for the network design are performed by the EPANET computer software that make use of Hardy Cross methods. This existing water distribution network can not provides the village of Beit Kahel with adequate good water supply system , The proposed network is meet with the required velocities in the pipes and pressures in the nodes until to the year 2028.
