Hydraulic Modeling and Design of Water Distribution System – A Case Study

Abstract

Water is an essential resource for human survival, economic development, and environmental sustainability. As urbanization and population growth continue to rise, ensuring an efficient and reliable water distribution system becomes a critical challenge. A well-designed WDS plays a crucial role in delivering adequate and consistent water supply while minimizing losses, optimizing pressure, and ensuring long-term sustainability. This research focuses on the design and optimization of a water distribution network using modelling and simulation techniques to enhance system performance and reliability. Using WaterGEMS software, the research focuses mainly on calibrating the current WDS in this area and analysing different operating conditions.
