Introduction

1.1. General background about the project

Water supply system infrastructure for the collection, transmission, treatment,

storage and distribution of water for homes, commercial establishments,
industry, and irrigation, as well as for such public needs as firefighting and street
flushing of all municipal services, provision of potable water is perhaps the most
vital. People depend on water for drinking, cooking, washing, carrying away
wastes, and other domestic needs. Water supply systems must also meet
requirements for public, commercial, and industrial activities. In all cases, the
water must fulfill both quality and quantity requirements.

Water is one of the necessities for human being and for all living things. Water
means nothing but just life as it constitutes the major part of the core of the cell,
the protoplasm which is about 70% in content of the cell , even though water is a
critical necessity for life , it has on adverse effect to life unless and other wise
properly handled.

Water was an important factor in the location of the earliest settled communities,
and the evolution of public water supply systems is tied directly to the growth of
cities. In the development of water resources beyond their natural condition in
rivers, lakes, and springs, the digging of shallow wells was probably the earliest
innovation. As the need for water increased and tools were developed, wells were
made deeper.

In the world clean water that can be used for domestic purpose is not more than
2% of the natural water resources of the earth. (Source; WHO, 2009).This is very
small in amount of wholesome water comparing with the saline water body. As
the result of this the world is faced to the shortage of sufficient access of safe
drinking water. The developing countries of the world are specially affected by
the problem of safe access of drinking water supply. This is because of the lack of
technologies and financial supports to utilize their water resources.
 1.2. Literature on water supply system design
Water distribution systems consist of pipeline networks and associated
components, most of which is underground and exposed to soil corrosion and
mechanical stress from the surrounding soil, surface traffic, and internal water
pressure. Pipe failure in water distribution systems disrupts the water supply to
consumers and reduces the reliability of the system. It is found that about 35% to
60% of the supplied volume is wasted due to pipe leakages .Therefore, inspection,
control and planned maintenance and rehabilitation programs are necessary to
properly operate existing water distribution systems.

A water distribution network must be designed so that it can supply the desired
quantity of water to the consumers at sufficient pressure. The design involves
specifying the sizes of different elements of the distribution network and checking
the adequacy of this network. Significant effort has been placed in developing
approaches to solve for optimal designs of water distribution systems.

A well planned water distribution network is very essential in the development of

an area. The network is built to satisfy various consumer demands while meeting
minimum pressure requirements at certain nodes. In the design stage it is of
interest to arrive at the least-cost solutions that satisfy a set of constraints
including demand and pressure requirements. Often it is also of interest to arrive
at less expensive solutions that, however, violate slightly the constraints.
 Chapter 2:
2. Design Criteria
Those criteria or conditions that need to be fulfilled during design so that the
system will work in a proper manner is said to be design criteria.
a) Velocity: The velocity of flow in a pipe need not be too low or too high. Low
velocity leads to the settlement of suspended particles in the pipe and high
velocity leads to the erosion of pipes. So a suitable velocity termed as
recommended velocity is selected.
 Minimum velocity = 0.3m/s  Maximum velocity = 3 m/s
Minimum velocity for untreated water = 0.6m/s
b) Pressure: Same as velocity, the pressure in the pipe also should not be too low
or too high. Low velocity leads to the low flow to the required height and high
pressure leads to the increment in chances of bursting of pipes. Recommended
pressure:
 For Public stand post:
Desirable Pressure = 15m
Minimum Pressure = 5m
Maximum Pressure = 55m
 For Private connection:
Maximum Pressure = 15m
Minimum Pressure = 55
c) Pipe Size:
The size of the pipe that is calculated theoretically may not be available
commercially. So the pipe size just above the size that has been calculated must
be recommended. Commercially available pipe sizes in mm are : 15, 20, 25, 32,
40, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800,
900, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600, 2800 and 3000

Design Steps:
a) Maps and Surveys: The topographical map of the area in which the
distribution is to be done is studied. The location of the components is
marked and the possible ways/routes are determined. The way of serving
water i.e. either through pumping or gravity flow is made. The technical
survey includes the survey by the use of instruments as Abney level,
theodolite. It also includes the study of the contour maps. The cross section
of streets, roads. Lanes are prepared and the soil type, hard rock areas, and
landslide prone areas are also studied. The social survey includes the data
collection regarding the total water demand, the population growth. A
number of commercial, institutional, industrial establishments are also
recorded. The dispute that may arise during the planning and
implementation should be solved.
b) Tentative Layout: It includes the adjustments of mains, sub mains, and the
branches. It too includes the position of the proposed water supply
components and the route that may be followed.
c) Discharge in Pipelines: On the basis of data collected (number of
households, water demand for domestic and livestock purposes, the
number of industrial, commercial and institutional establishments) the
discharge desired is calculated. The transmission line is designed for
maximum daily demand and the distribution system is designed for
maximum hourly demand with the variation in peak factor from 2 to 4.
d) Calculation of Pipe Diameters: For known discharge through the pipes, the
diameter of the pipes can be computed by using DarcyWeisbach or Hazen-
Williams formula. The commercially available pipe diameter equal to or
 greater than the computed pipe size should be used for the distribution
system. Size of pipes can be determined using:
Continuity Equation: Q = A * V = ((Pi)*d2 )/4
e) Computation of residual pressure and velocity: The residual pressure in the
distribution system is computed using
The pressure available in the upstream
Ground levels
Design discharge
Head loss in the pipe
When the diameter of the pipe is known, the velocity for the design discharge
is computed. The residual pressure and velocity need to conform the design
criteria. If they don’t conform the criteria new diameter of the pipe is selected .
Design of Pipe Networks:
a) Branched System:
Steps to design the branched system are listed as follows:
1. The population to be served by each section is determined.
2. The discharge to be carried by each section is determined.
3. The allowable head loss in the pipe which depends upon ground levels, residual
head pressure available in the upstream and minimum head pressure to be
maintained in the pipe is to be determined.
4. Using Darcy-Weisbach or Hazen-Williams equation, the diameter of the pipe in
each section is determined.
5. Head loss in each pipe section is determined.
6. Velocity, as well as residual heads, are checked. If they are within the limit, the
calculation is completed else change the pipe diameter so as to make velocity and
residual heads within the limit
b) Looped System:
Hardy Cross method is one of the widely used methods to analyze and design the
looped system.
1. ΣQ = 0, at any joint.
2. ΣHf = 0, at any loop.
 3. For any closed circuit pipe section Hf α Q.Hf = k1Q1 n = k2Q2 n , n = 1.852 in the
case of Hazen-Williams Coefficient
Flow correction formula Steps:
1. Assume the discharge and its direction.
2. Calculation of head loss of each branch.
3. Correction to flow is computed until reduced to an acceptable limit using
QA = Assumed Flow
Q = Actual flow
Δ = Q – QA
4. If Δ is positive. Add it to the flow which is in the clockwise direction and
subtract it to the flow in the anticlockwise direction. If Δ is negative. Add it to the
flow in the anticlockwise direction and subtract it to the flow in the clockwise
direction. For common pipes or networks: correction should be applied in both
loops. 5. Find the corrected discharges. 6. Repeat the steps until Δ ≠ 0.

3. POPULATION FORECASTING & DESIGN PERI
3.1. Introduction

Population forecasting is a method to predict/forecast the future population of an

area. Usually, the population at the design period of water supply systems is
predicted to find the water demand at that time, as the systems are required to
fulfill their purposes till the end of the design period.

The economic design period of the components of a water supply depends on

their life, initial cost, rate of interest on loan, the ease with which they can be
expanded of the likelihood that they will be rendered absolute by technological
advances. In order to design the parts of water system, the flow at the end of
design period must be estimated.

3.2. Design Period

Design period is the number of years for which the design of water works has
been done. Before designing & construction of water supply scheme, it is
necessary to assure that the water works have sufficient capacity to meet the
future water demand of the town for the fixed design period. Therefore the
number of years for which the design of the water works has been done is called
design period. The design period, however, should neither too long or too short.
Mostly water supply schemes have design period of 22-30years. The different
elements of the treatment & distribution systems may approximately be designed
for different flow criteria as shown in the table below.

Table 3.1.
 3.3. Methods of forecasting population
By considering growth rate of the town we use the following different methods
of population forecasting to asses and estimate the future population of the
town:
A. Arithmetic increase method
This method is based on the assumption that the population is increasing at
constant rate, that is the rate of change of population with a time is
constant. Generally, the method is applicable to large and old cities.
Pn=Po + Kn
Where; Pn=population at n decade
n =decade or year
k =arithmetic increase
B. Geometric increase method
The method is based on the assumption that the percentage increase in
population remains constant. It also known as uniform increase method. The
increase is compounded over the existing population. This method is mostly
applicable for growing towns and cities having vast scope of expansion.
P1=P0+K*P0=P (1+K) Pn=P0 (1+K) n
Where P0=initial population.
Pn=Population at n decades or year.
n=decade or year
K=percentage or geometric increase.
C. Method used by Ethiopian statistics authority
The Ethiopian statistic authority uses the formula pn = po*e kn
for most water supply project in the country to project population at the end of
required decade/year.
Pn=po*e kn Where Pn=population at n decades or year
Po=initial population (from census) K=growth rate n =decade or year

 3.4. WATER DEMAND ASSESSMENT
3.4.1. General
Design of water systems require estimation of expected water demands
applicable to size the pumping equipment, transmission and distribution pipe
lines and storage facilities. Estimating water demands for a particular town
depends on the size of the population to be served, their standard of living and
activities, the cost of water supplied, the availability of wastewater service and
the purpose of demand. It varies according to the requirement of the domestic
population, institutional, industrial and social establishments, etc. In addition to
these, demand allowances need to be included for leakage, wastage, and
operational requirements such as flushing of mains.
Some of the factors that affect water demand are:-
Climatic condition size of the town, culture of people industries cost of wale, fault
of water pressure in the distribution system, system of supply etc.
1. Climatic condition: 5. Cost of water: -
2. Size of the town: 7. Pressure in the distribution system
3. Culture of people: - 8. System of supply:
4. Industries: 9. Method of charging:
The demand of water is divided under the following categories or types of water
demand.
Domestic water demand
Non domestic demand
Unaccounted for water
1. Domestic Water Demand
The water demand for actual household activity is known as domestic water
demand. It includes water for drinking, cooking, bathing, washing flushing, toilet,
etc. The demand will depend on many factors, the most important of which are
economic, social and climatic.
four major modes of service were identified for domestic water consumers. These
are:
House connections (HTC or HTU)
Yard connections - private (YTO or YTU)
Yard connections -shared (YTS), and
Public taps (PT or PTU)

3.4.2. Population Distribution by Mode of Service

The percentage of population to be served by each mode of service of the town is
shown in the table (Table 0-9: Service levels) in 10 category. The category of the
table is selected based on the population of the town that is given from the table
(Table 0-8: Town category grouping). The percentage of population to be served
by each mode of service will vary with time. The variation is caused by changes in
living standards, improvement of the service level, changes in building standards
and capacity of the water supply service to expand. Therefore, the present and
projected percentage of population served by each demand category is estimated
by taking the above stated conditions and by assuming that the percentage for
the house and yard tap users will increase gradually during the project service
period while the percentage of tap users will dramatically reduce as more and
more people will have private connections as the living standard of people and
the socioeconomic development stage come up. This projection envisaged
provision of the traditional source users with public taps, and yard connections
(own & shared). Further decreases in public tap users are expected on the
assumption that more and more people will have private yard connections

The population of this town is 88357. it is between 80,000 and 250,000. Since the
town is in category two.

3.4.3. Per-ca pita Water Demand
The per ca pita water demand for various demand categories varies depending on
the size of the town, the level of development , the type of water supply schemes,
the socio- economic conditions of the town, cost of water, system of sanitation
and climatic condition of the area. The per ca pita water demand for adequate
supply level has to be determined based on basic human water requirements for
various activities of demand category. It is the average demand of the population
in the town. It require skill to estimate this demand. Percapita demands are
forecasted by survey the population of town and average it. For this project we
assume the per capita demand

3.4.4. Domestic Water Demand Projection

In projecting the domestic water demand of TOWN X the following procedures

were followed:

Determining population percentage distribution by mode of service and its

future projection
Establishment of per capita water demand by purpose for each mode of
service;
 Projected consumption by mode of service;
 Adjustment for climate;
 Adjustment due to socio-economic conditions
Adjustment for climate

Climate condition is the main factor that affects water demand of the population
under consideration. Therefore, the water demand should be adjust for climatic
condition.
Table 3.8. Adjustment due to climatic condition

TOWN X with a mean annual precipitation of 980 mm belongs to Group B as per

the design criteria. Thus, an adjustment factor of 1 was taken.

Socio-economic adjustment factors

The socio economic adjustment factor is determined based on the degree of the
development of the particular town under study as the socio economic conditions
play great role on the amount of water consumption.

Table 3.9. Adjustment factor due to socio economic condition

Assume Town having a very high potential for development but lower living
standards at present. Therefore, categorized as a Group B town and was given
an adjustment factor of 1.05.

After considering changes in population and changes in the mode of service, per-
capita demand and applying the adjustment factors, the domestic demands were
calculated and are presented in table below.

3.4.6. Fire Fighting Demand

Firefighting is a quantity of water required for fighting a fire outbreak. The

quantity of water required for firefighting purpose is a function of population, but
within minimum limit. Because the greater the population, the greater will be the
number of buildings and hence greater risk of fire. By the minimum limit of fire
demand is meant the amount and rate of supply required for extinguishing the
largest possible fire that could be in the community. The required amount of
water for firefighting will not be more than the amount of water distributed
during the maximum day water demand.

The quantity of water needed to extinguish fire depends upon population,

contents of Buildings, density of buildings and their resistance to life. In our case
the firefighting water requirement is taken 10 % of the domestic demand.

3.4.7. Non-revenue water

Leakage and over flow from service reservoirs
Leakage and losses on consumers premises when they get unmetered
house hold supplies
Under registration of supply meters
Losses from a water distribution system consist of
Leakage from main and service pipe connections
Losses in the supply lines are mainly due to defective pipe joint, cracked
pipe and loose valves and fittings.

3.5. Water demand variation

3.5.1. Average Water Demand
The average daily water demand is the sum of the domestic, non-domestic and
unaccounted for water which is used to estimate the maximum day & the peak
hour demand. The average day demand is used in economic calculations over the
projects lifetime.
3.5.2. Maximum Day Water Demand
The water consumption varies from day to day. The maximum day water demand
is considered to meet water consumption changes with seasons and days of the
week. The ratio of the maximum daily consumption to the mean annual daily
consumption is the maximum day factor.
The proposed maximum Day factor usually varies between 1.2 & 1.3 as per the
design criteria. Hence, a maximum day factor of 1.25 is used design period. The
maximum day demand is used to in infrastructure calculations such as for source
pumping requirements.
3.5.3. Peak Hour Water Demand
The peak hour demand is greatly influenced by the size of the town, mode of
service and social activity in the town. It is the highest demand of any one-hour
over the maximum day. It represents the diurnal variation in water demand
resulting from the behavioral patterns of the total population. In our case the
population ranges for List between 20000 to 500,000 i.e. so we have adopted
peak hour factor of 1.9.

 3.6. SERVICE RESERVOIR
3.6.1. General
Reservoirs are the tanks which are used to store water for various purposes.
Larger the reservoir size more would be the reliability and high would be the cost.
Distribution reservoir is also called service reservoir, which are mainly provided
for storing the treated water, for supplying water to the town or city.
Service Reservoir is constructed after clear water reservoir where clear water is
not kept. They are used to provide storage to meet fluctuation in demand of
water. It has three main functions as:
Balancing or equalizing flow
Break down reserve
Firefighting reserve
Types of service reservoir
Surface Reservoir
Elevated Reservoir
Depth of Reservoir
There is an economical depth of service reservoir for any given site. For a given
quantity of water either a shallow reservoir having long walls and a large floor
area may be constructed or, alternatively Depths most usually used are as
follows:

3.6.2. Determination of Storage Capacity

Storage capacity of reservoir should be adequate for the demand for the period of
two hours in small communities and 10 to 12 hours in the case of large
communities. Demand of water always keeps on varying hour, but treated water
continuous to come out of treatment plant of a constant rate. Balancing reserve is
that quantity of water required storing for balancing the variable demand in the
distribution system.
Reservoir capacity is determined on the following basis:
Computation of storage capacity of a reservoir can be obtained from one of the
following methods.
a. Analytical method
b. Mass curve technique
NB. Analytical method is used for the purpose of calculation in this project.
Total daily demand of the town =8399.4m3/day
Hourly demand of the town=(8399.4/24)m3/day=350m3/hr
Pumping hours=20hr
Hourly supply= demand of the town/pumping hour
Hourly supply/Pumping rate=(8399.4/20)=420m3/hr
Assume the pumping rate is not varying with time that means hourly supply factor
is 1.

For safety provide a reservoir with a capacity of =2800
Capacity of existing reservoir =1650
Capacity of new reservoir=2800-1650=1150m3
We will construct 1150m3 standard reservoir

3.7. Design of distribution system:

For laying pipes and constructing a distribution system, knowledge on the size of
pipes to convey water under a known pressure difference between inlet and
outlet section need to be known. It includes pipe hydraulics, design criteria, and
design process.
Pipe Hydraulics: Size of pipes can be determined using:
Continuity Equation: Q = A * V = ((Pi)*d2 )/4
Where, Q = discharge through the A = Area of cross-section d = diameter of the
pipe V = velocity of flow
The equation indicates that if the velocity is high, the pipe required is of smaller
diameter and vice versa. Bernoulli’s Equation: Head at inlet = Head at outlet +
Head loss Head losses are further classified as major head loss and minor head
loss. Major Head loss is due to the frictional loss. For longer pipes the frictional
head loss is more than any other type ho head losses. Determination of loss of
head due to friction: Darcy-Weisbach Formula:

Water Tank (reservoir) Design Consideration

Water depth in the reservoir=3m
Volume of reservoir=1150m3
Volume(v)= = πD2H/4

D=22.1m
Maximum Daily water demand =8399.4m3/day
Maximum Daily water demand in m3/s=8399.4/(24*60*60)=0.0972 m3/s
Maximum hourly water demand=12767.1m3/day
Maximum hourly water demand in m3/s=12767.1//(24*60*60)=0.148 m3/s
