treatment facility. At this stage, untreated water undergoes a
series of treatment phases, which include filtration,
sedimentation, and disinfection, to guarantee its adherence to
safety regulations for human consumption. Subsequently, the
purified water is conveyed through an extensive network of
pipes.
Strategically located within the system, pumping
stations serve the purpose of raising water to higher points,
overcoming gravitational constraints and ensuring sufficient
pressure at every delivery point. Storage reservoirs play a
crucial role in stabilizing supply during times of reduced
demand, offering a buffer against fluctuations in
consumption. Moreover, they function as key nodes for
pressure regulation within the system.
Metering devices are incorporated into the system to
measure individual usage, establishing a foundation for
billing and resource administration. Additionally,
