INTRODUCTION TO WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
Water is the basic necessity of life. It must be pure, palatable, and save for humanity.
The water should meet the drinking water standards recommended by health
organization or National agencies with regards to its physical, biological,
bacteriological chemical and Radiological quality of water. It is the responsibility of in
charge sanitary engineer to check that Various requisites for good drinking water supply
are met so that people’s health and well-being Is ensured. The quality and abundant
supply of water is essential for a suitably design water Supply system. Therefore,
sanitary engineer, before selecting upon the source of water supply, should make a detail
survey of all the possible water resources-surface and ground water and Decide as to
which should be more suitable according to the site conditions and other factors
Affecting the choice. Estimation of water requirements for a community is one of the
fundamental and most important Factors in design of water supply system. Hence it is
necessary to make a proper estimate of Population to be served for calculating the
expecting water usage. The various design Para-Meters are used in water supply are per
capita consumption, water demand and variation in water demand, fire demand, design
period for various structures, machinery and other components of Water supply system.
In modern times water supply is not so much of an easy task. As the provision of an
adequate Quantity of water is the need of human survival. A higher standard of living
demands that the Water should be free of contamination, available at all times at the
turn of a tap because of the Significance of water words and the dependence of
population on an unfailing supply of water, designing of a water words system of
unquestioned reliability is of great importance. Design of a water works system involves
collection work, transportation works, purification Works. A water distribution system
includes pipes, valves, hydrants and appurtenances for Conveying water, the reservoirs
for storage, equalizing and distribution purpose, service pipes to Consumers, meters and
all other parts of conveying system after the water leaves the main Pumping station are
the main distribution reservoir, the aim of this project is to re-design in D/17 Islamabad.
Due to construction of new Buildings and proposed future construction projects,
demand of water supply will in D/17 ISLAMABAD. D/17 comprises of residential and
non-residential areas which includes residential house, Flats, offices and educational
buildings. This project highlights the increased population in D/17.Increase in demand
of water due to estimated increase in population, proposed new dimensions of main and
distribution water pipes. It also endeavors to identify the weakness of the existing Water
supply system and will give recommendations to concern authority for improving the
Current water supply system. The data was collected by using structured questionnaire
and Written formal consent. A rough cost estimate is also prepared for the new required
storage tanks and the distribution pipe.

INTRODUCTION TO WATER SOURCES AND ITS
IMPORTANCE
Water is one of the natural resources, which are found in an adequate amount. It is an essential
source for the existence of life on the planet earth. It is widely used for various purposes such
as drinking, washing, bathing, cleaning, cooking, irrigation, and other industrial and domestic
uses.
There are various sources of water. About 97% of the water on the Earth’s surface is covered
with water. The three main sources of water are:
• Rainwater.
• Groundwater – This includes water bodies like Wells and Springs.
• Surface water – This includes different water bodies like Sea, Oceans, Reservoirs,
Rivers, Streams, Ponds, Lakes and Tanks
2
Figure 2-2: Sources of Surface Water
Water never stops moving. The water cycle mainly describes the process of the continuous
movement of water from the surface of the earth and it is usually carried out in four different
stages. The entire cycle is controlled by the sun and is also known as the hydrological cycle
3
Figure 2-3: Water Cycle
4
2.4.1 Evaporation:
In this stage, the heat from the sun heats up the water from oceans and other water bodies and
evaporates the water in the form of vapours which rises up and form clouds.
2.4.2 Condensation:
The water vapour’s in the clouds cools down.
2.4.3 Precipitation:
The cooled water vapours in the clouds form droplets and released in the form of Precipitation
back to the earth surface in the form of rain or snow.
2.4.4 Collection:
The rainwater runs off to the ground and gets collected into the river, ponds, well, and back to
the sea.
As mentioned above, about 97% of the water on the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Only
2 to 3% is available and safe for drinking. Rest of the water is saltwater and other two-thirds
of the Earth’s freshwater is frozen in glaciers and these water resources are mostly inaccessible
for human use.
Q = Area × Velocity
Where Q = Discharge through a pipe
The unit of discharge = m3/s because velocity = m/s and area = m2
So m/s × m2 = m3/s

Formula to Find Discharge
Formula , V = K × C × R 0.63 × S 0.54

PIPES USED IN WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
7
3.1.2 C.I Pipes
These pipes are used for water supply and sewerage. These pipes are free from rusting. Average
life of these pipes is 100 years. Internal surface of these pipes is rough. Friction losses is much
more. These pipes are brittle and can with stand only low pressure (7kg/cm 2). These pipes are
heavy in weight, so handling is difficult. Bell and spigot joint are flanged joint is used to join
these pipes. These pipes can be cut by chisel or hacksaw.
8
3.1.4 A.C Pipes:
These pipes are prepared by cement and asbestos-fiber. The pipes are manufactured from 10cm
(4inch) to 40cm (16inch) diameter and 90cm (3ft) length. These pipes are joined by sleeve and
rubber ring. Internal surface of these pipes are smooth so has good efficiency regarding head
loss. These pipes are light weight, so transportation is easy.
9
3.1.6 Copper Pipes
These pipes are made of copper and mostly used for hot water. These pipes are durable as these
are not rusted. Copper is a soft metal that is why, bending of these pipes are easy. These pipes
are joined by flanges or union.

FITTINGS USED IN WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
4.2.1 Adaptor
Adaptors are mainly used for extending pipe runs in the forward direction with the same or
different diameters. By using an adapter, we can connect two dissimilar pipes in the same run.
Adaptors’ function is generally similar to pipe couplings, with the difference that they connect
pipes of different types, one of which is an IPS (Iron Pipe Size).
4.2.2 Barb
A barb is generally used to connect hoses to pipes. It is essential to have a male at one end and
on the other end has a barbed tube, which is a ridged and tapered cone.
Plastic barbs are used when it needs to carry cold water and brass if they carry hot water.
11
4.2.3 Coupling
It is mainly used to connect the two piles of the same diameter. Couplings can also be used to
fix pile leakage or broken problem.
Couplings have two main types named compression coupling and slip coupling. Compression
coupling is mostly used to connect two pipes and it is able to prevent leakage by
the arrangement of gaskets or rubber seals on both sides, otherwise, glue is provided.
Slip coupling has two pipes that are arranged as one into another. It is made up such that
the inner pipe can slide up to some length. So, we can solve the problem of long
length damaged pipe by slip coupling.
4.2.4 Cross-type
Cross–type pipe fitting has 4 vents or openings in all 4 directions and there are perpendicular to
each other. This type of fitting is used when there are 4 pipes that are meeting at the same point.
These types of pipe fitting must be made from strong material as it has to bear more stress.
These stresses come from the point where all 4 pipes connect from different directions. These
types of pipe fitting are majorly used in the sprinkler system.
12
4.2.5 Double Tapped Bushing
The double-tapped bushing is one type of nipple itself, but it has to thread on both the inside
and the outside.
It is named double–tapped bushing because its center hole is threaded (tapped) from both top
and bottom.
4.2.6 Elbow
It is generally used to change the direction of the pipe run. Elbows are available
in different angles 22.5º 45 º and 90 º. Normal types of elbows are used for a pipe of the same
diameter and reducer types of elbows are used when diversion is to be done for a pipe of
different diameters.
They are made from different materials. Elbows are mostly available with female threads and
we can fix them by butt or socket welding also.

4.2.7 Mechanical Sleeve
Mechanical pipe sleeves are generally used to connect two pipes by a screw or other fixtures.
This arrangement makes it easy to fix and repair.
The mechanical sleeves are mostly manufactured from a rubber material that is inserted inside
a metal jacket (stainless steel clamp).
As we tight the mechanical sleeves claim, it compresses the rubber inside to make a tight seal.
4.2.8 Nipple
It is the most useful pipe fixture in the plumbing system. The nipple is not connected to two
pipes, but it connects two pipe fittings together.
It is a small pipe fitting that can be made of metals such as copper, brass or steel, or chlorinated
polyvinyl chloride (CPVC).
A nipple with continuous threading, then it is called a closed nipple. The nipple is available
in males and comes in varying lengths.
14
4.2.9 Reducer
The fitting used to make a larger flow area smaller is called a reducer. It has two types one
is concentric reducer joins two pipes on the same axis, and the eccentric reducer is used to join
pipes of different diameters.
4.2.10 Tee
It is has shaped like the letter “T.” it has an inlet and outlet. Tees are available in different sizes
and are considered sturdier than the cross fitting.
4.2.11 Union
It can have both male and female threads. Union is somehow similar to couplings, but
the difference is unions are easy to remove making them convenient for maintenance or a
planned future replacement. Generally, it has three parts: nut, male end, and female end. It is
mainly utilized to join the male and female ends.
15
4.2.12 Valve
Valves allow mainly used to regular or stop the flow to fluid in a pipe. There are various types
of valves such as throttling, non-return, and isolation. Non-return valves only allow
the liquid to flow in one direction and are often found in drains. They’re also called check
valves.
Isolation valves are an important part of the plumbing system so that the system can be serviced
or maintained. These valves have the nature of left open or left closed all the time. However,
they are mostly used in an emergency, they should be checked now and then to see if
they’re operational.
4.2.13 Wye
Wyes type of pipe fitting resembles the letter “Y,” this fitting is made to connect three pipes.
Wye fittings permit the pipes to change their elevations and to branch out into freshwater lines
or drains.
Wyes fittings are somehow similar to Tee but the smoother angling reduces friction
and turbulence in the water. It is mainly used to connect a vertical drain pipe to
a horizontal one.
16
4.2.14 Cap
It has almost a similar utility to a plug. But the main difference is that the plug contains male
threads and the cap contains female threads which are screws on the male thread of the pipe.
They are manufactured from different materials like rubber, copper, steel, plastic, etc.
4.2.15 Plug
The plug is one of the most important accessories of a plumbing system which is
generally used to close pipe opening during inspections and repairs. Plug most has male threads

VALVES USED IN WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
Float valve automatically regulates the flow and maintains constant level in a service reservoir
or tank. It consists of a valve connected to a hollow sealed float (ball) by means of a rigid bar,
which is mounted on the top of the tank. The valve is connected to the incoming water supply.
18
5.3 Non-Return Valve (NRV):
It is also called check valve. A non-return valve allows a medium to flow in only one direction
and is fitted to ensure that the medium flows through a pipe in the right direction is known as
non-return valve.
Pressure reducing valve used to maintain a pre-set pressure regardless of flow rate and pressure
fluctuations.

Chapter 06
PUMPS USED IN WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
6.1 Pump:
A pump is a mechanical device that lifts liquids from a lower level or low-pressure
area to a higher level or high-pressure area. It is a heavy-duty equipment with low suction and
high discharge pressure. This makes it easier to pump a fluid from a certain depth and push the
fluid to the desired height.
20
6.1.3 Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps
These types of pumps include a minimum of two otherwise more impellers. These pumps are
utilized in pumping services. Every stage is fundamentally a divide pump.
All the phases are in a similar shelter & mounted on a similar shaft. On a solo horizontal shaft,
minimum eight otherwise additional stages can be mounted. Every stage enhances the head by
around an equal amount. Multi-stage pumps can also be single otherwise double suction on the
first impeller. All kinds of pumps have been providing as well as servicing this type of
centrifugal pumps.
These pumps are apt for shifting storm water, subsoil water, sewage, black water, grey water,
rainwater, trade waste, chemicals, bore water, and foodstuffs. The applications of these pipes
mainly include in different impellers like closed, contra-block, vortex, multi-stage, single
channel, cutter, otherwise grinder pumps. For different applications, there is an extensive
selection is accessible which includes high flow, low flow, low head, otherwise high head.
21
6.1.5 Gear Pumps
These pumps are a kind of rotating positive dislocation pump, which means they force a stable
amount of liquid for every revolution. These pumps move liquid with machinery coming inside
and outside of mesh for making a non-exciting pumping act. These pumps are capable of
pumping on high forces & surpass at pumping high thickness fluids efficiently.
A gear pump doesn’t contain any valves to cause losses like friction & also high impeller
velocities. So this pump is compatible for handling thick liquids like fuel as well as grease oils.
These pumps are not suitable for driving solids as well as harsh liquids.
22
without hurting them. The working of these pumps can be related to gear pumps, apart from
the lobes which do not approach into contact by each other. Additionally, these pumps have
superior pumping rooms compare with gear pumps that allow them to move slurries. These are
made with stainless steel as well as extremely polished.

TYPES OF TANKS USED IN WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
24
7.1.3 Water Tank Resting on Ground:
It is a secondary water storage tank. These tanks are built (R.C.C water storage tank) or placed
(Plastic water storage tank) on ground or floor of any building. They are used in emergency
when overhead and underground water tanks are empty.
Inlet(s), outlet(s), drain, overflow and vent(s) (with insects’ screen), level indicator, manhole,
sump, drain pump and free board of 200m to 300m for installation of float valve.
25
7.3.1 Inlet and Outlet:
The location of inlet should be at the top so that maximum water can be stored. Outlet should
be at the bottom of the tank so that maximum water can be used and it is also necessary for
circulation of water (i.e between water already in tank and water entering tank). Water
circulation maintains the level of residual chlorine. Out let should be 10-15cm (about 4-6
inches) above bottom because impurities settle at the bottom of the tank and they may flow
with water if outlet is at the very bottom of the tank.
7.3.2 Drain:
It is located at bottom of the tank to empty the tank as well as to remove/clean sediment
deposits during cleaning of tank.
7.3.4 Vent:
Vent pipes are located at the top of the tank to release air. At the time of refilling water in tank
air is removed out through vent pipes. Opening of vent pipes should face downwards to prevent
entry of contaminants and debris into tank water.
7.3.6 Sump:
It is situated at the base of the tank for draining purpose. Additional sump is required for
installation of submersible pumps in case of underground or on ground water storage tanks.

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND ITS TYPES
• 4 Types of Water Distribution System | Advantages & Disadvantages Water Supply
Distribution System.
The household consumers use water for many purposes like drinking, cooking, washing
hands, and body, washing clothes, cleaning the house, watering animals, irrigating the garden,
and often for many commercial activities.
Different sources of water may be used for different activities, and the water sources
available may change with the seasons.
Water Distribution system comes under the water supply system. A domestic water supply
system is a provision to deliver water from source to household with appropriate quality,
quantity, and pressure by public utilities, usually by a system of pumps and pipes
There are different types of water distribution systems that are discussed here.
27
system can take water from different sources like a stream, a spring, a hand-dug well, a
boring hall, or a rainwater collection system.
The system of withdrawing water from the treatment plant and making it available at
all appliances (fixtures) for use is known as a domestic water supply system. As per the use,
the water supply system carries hot & cold water throughout the house.
• The quality of water should not get deteriorated in the distribution pipes.
• Supply system should be capable of supplying water at all the intentional places with
sufficient pressure heads.
• It should be capable of supplying the needful amount of water during fire-fighting.
• The pipe layout should be such that no consumer would be without a water supply,
during the repair of any section of the system.
• All the pipes in the distribution system should be preferably laid one meter away or
above the sewer lines.
28
Advantages of Dead-end Distribution System
• Only one pipe provides the water to the entire building which is quite risky.
• The head loss is relatively high, requiring a larger pipe diameter and need pumping
units.
• The discharge available during firefighting is limited due to high head loss in
the piping system.
• The water pressure available is also lower which requires a pumping system.
8.4.2 Gridiron Distribution System
In this, the main supply lines run through the center of the building, and sub mains branch off
in perpendicular directions. The branch interconnects the sub-mains.
The distinguishing features of this system are that all types of pipes are interconnected and
there are no dead ends. Water can reach at the given point of withdrawal from many directions,
which allows more flexible operation, particularly when repairs are required.
• This system enables the free circulation of water, without any stagnation or sediment
deposit.
• Because of the fewer interconnections water is available at every point with minimum
loss of head.
• Adequate water is available with pressure for firefighting requirements from the
various branch lines.
• During repair, only a few houses are affected.
29
Disadvantages of Gridiron Distribution System
This system is most reliable for several buildings located in the same area planned locations.
• The length of pipe laying is more which ultimately leads to higher cost.
• Several valves are required to control the flow and discharge of water.
8.4.4 Radial Distribution System:
In this types of water distribution system, the whole buildings are divided into several
distribution areas.
Each building has a centrally located elevated reservoir from where distribution pipes run
radially towards the periphery of the distribution areas.
30
This system gives swift service, without much loss of head.
• Generally, in high-rise buildings, a radial system is used for the water distribution
system.
• In this system, water is available with higher discharge and with minimum head loss.
• Fewer numbers of the consumer are affected while repairing.
Disadvantages of Radial Distribution System:

11.3 SPECIFICATION
11.3.1 INTRODUCTION:
The project of water supply scheme is situated in Margalla View Housing Society (MVHS)
D17 Islamabad. The society is planned for 242 houses and average person’s/house is 7. The
estimated population of 242 houses is 1696.The requirement of water per person is 135
liters/day. The requirement of water for one house is 945 liters/day. The requirement of water
for selected area of society is 228690 Liters/day. For design purposes, take 30 % for
commercial use, 25 % for loses and wastages and 25% of total discharge (Q) for next 10 years.
Total Discharge (Q) of water included commercial, loses and wastages and next 10 years is
443086.5 liters. In UK Gallon which is equal to 98644 and USA Gallon which is equal to
116602.
11.3.2 EXCAVATION:
The excavation is done according to design of bedding of pipes which breadth is 3 Feet and
depth is 2 feet. The excavation of underground water tank for every home or flats is done
according to design of underground water tank which depth is 5 feet and 8 feet. The procedure
for excavation including prevention against failing of trench sides, correction of the surface of
trench compaction, water sprinkling and after construction the foundation filling it by mud
around the trench.
43
11.3.3 DESIGN OF WATER TANK FOR EVERY HOME
In water supply scheme we design underground water tank for every house. The length and
breadth of both underground water tank is same but the depth is not same. We design total 132
underground tank. The design of 48 underground water tank is 4 X 6 X 5 and 84 underground
water tank design is 4 X 6 X 8.
In the foundation of underground water tank concrete is placed. The ratio of concrete is (1:4:8).
In foundation we placed 9” thick layer of concrete. In concrete Portland cement is used. Often
without cement the dry crushed is placed down below. For calculating its quantity, the length
and width of foundation of depth multiplied of concrete layer. For this length and width is
usually equal to the excavation whereas depth will be equal to the cross section
44
For R.C.C construction the column, braces, beam and wall of tank along with slab are of R.C.C.
Usually The ratio of concrete in column and beam is 1:2:4 where as in walls and slab the ratio
is 1:2:4. The percentage of steel is 1%.
11.3.6 FLOOR
At the bottom of tank usually the barite is installed for the flooring. The quantity of barite is
determined by the area of floor.
In water supply scheme Galvanized iron GI pipe are used as main pipe line and PPRC pipe are
used as distribution pipe line. The diameter of Galvanized iron pipe is 4” and one pipe length
of Galvanized iron pipe is 20’. The diameter of PPRC pipe is 32mm and one pipe length of
PPRC pipe is 10 feet. In water supple scheme float valve is used which purpose is that when
underground water tank is full the supply of water automatically off. In water supply scheme
GI and PPRC both pipes fittings are used such as socket, Elbow, Tee and Gate valve.

Intermittent water supply is used in water supply scheme. In this system the water is supplied
to the community during certain hours a day only. The time is about one to four hour in the
morning about the same period in the afternoon. This system is used because
• Available pressure is low.
• Available water is insufficient.
