Hydraulics of Intermittent Supply •

Specific problems include (Halcrow Water Services and Bristol Water Services, 2003; Tiwari,2012): – – – – –

Serious risk to public health Inability to practice effective supply management; Inability to practice effective demand management; Operational inadequacies, which unduly weaken the physical infrastructure; Customer inconvenience. • •

This is a short period (first 20-30 minutes)

Pressure dependent demands (Vairavamoorthy,2008 Buchberger,2008) Where: Hi: Pressure at a node i Hmin: Minimum required pressure at a node i Hmax: Maximum pressure at a node i Qi: Demand at a node i Qmax: User specified (requested) demand at a node i 5


Household Reservoir

(http://sdteffen.de/diplom/web/node11_ct.html) •Each demand node is represented by artificial reservoir (Buchberger,2008). •Infinite sink •Total head = Elevation + Pressure Head (1 meter)

Equivalent Pipe Diameter The individual reservoir fill rates depend mainly on the headloss over the pipeline that connects the tank to the network. (Bansal,1989;Buchberger,2008; Walski, 2003). Where

Results after Validation •From this table it is clear that the diameter of the Distribution main is insufficient. •Total 34 nodes are under pressure of 1 meter, where as minimum recommended pressure is 7meter (CPHEEO, 1999). 12


Conclusion •

Both intermittent and continuous water supply modes were simulated successfully using EPANET.

The pilot area is under very low pressure.

The continuous supply simulation results relatively higher pressure value, less than 12 meter.

It is recommended to avoid the direct tapping of water from the transmission main, rather it is advised to build an elevated service reservoir (ESR) for the pilot study area to maintain the hydraulic integrity.

The identified leakage points need to be repaired.

This particular information is very essential for Nagpur Municipal Corporation to improve the existing system for effective pressure and flow management
