Abstract
The network of distribution mains is nearly the most expensive item of equipment in a water undertaking. Also, the cost of its upkeep generally represents a large proportion of the annual maintenance budget. It is therefore the duty of water engineer to devote some considerable care to the design of the most efficient distribution system and this entails accurate prediction of the discharges and pressures in the various pipe components.
