Case Study on Designing Water Supply Distribution Network Using Epanet for Zone I of Village Kherali
This study presents the use of EPANETsoftwareinthe design ofwater distributionnetwork forZone Iof Kherali Village. EPANET is acomputer program that performs extended period simulation ofhydraulic and waterquality behavior within pressurized pipenetworks. A network consists of pipes, nodes (pipe junctions),pumps, valves and storage tanks or reservoirs. EPANET tracksthe flow of water in each pipe, the pressure at each node, theheight of water in each tank, and the concentration of a chemicalspecies throughout thenetwork, EPANET is designed to be aresearch tool for improving our understanding of the movementand fate of drinking water constituents within distributionsystems. It can be used for many different kinds ofapplications indistribution systems analysis. In this paper it was used to carryout the hydraulic analysis of the distribution network in the studyarea. The results obtained verified that the pressures at alljunctions and the flows with their velocities at all pipes arefeasible enough to provide adequate water to the network of thestudy area.
