Distribution of water
The water supply system is designed to satisfy the demand placed by different landuses, densities, and fire fighting requirements. The system consists of Piping system, pumping stations ,storage facilities, fire hydrants, house connections , water meters, The distribution system normally costs 60 to 70% of total cost.
Distribution reservoir is located for maximum benefit and is located in center. It will redice friction losses.
Distribution system characteristics: Configuration of distribution system is dictated by street pattern, topography, type of development, location of treatment and storage work.
If there is changes in topography then system is divided into zones.
Distribution system may be grid system, branching system, or combination of this.
The distribution pipes shall not be less than 150 mm in dia. To meet fire fighting requirements.
