Abstract
Water distribution network design is going through many developments. Today, simulation software programs are essentially being used to design the whole network of water distribution systems to reduce the overall cost while meeting the water demand at adequate terminal pressure and maintaining CPHEEO standard water quality. In this study, we have used WaterCAD software to design and to analyze the proposed water distribution network of Bhogpur gram panchayat of Panskura 2 block of Purba Medinipur District in West Bengal. The analytic study is based on a surface water-based pipeline water delivery scheme, executed by the Public Health Engineering Department, Government of West Bengal at Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal. The outputs of the above-noted study are also verified theoretically. It was computed and ensured that the minimum pressure head available in the water distribution network is 8.82 m and the maximum flow velocity of 0.9 m/s. The study exercised in this paper is enthralled to support both academicians with industry-versed hydraulics engineer.
