WATER SUPPLY ENGINEERING

Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of demand for Water: Variations in water consumption, different population forecasting methods, fire demand. Sources of Water: Water cycle, groundwater, surface water. Collection of Water: Collection of surface water, collection of groundwater using wells and infiltration galleries, storage capacity of reservoirs. Transportation of Water: Laying out of transportation lines. Distribution of Water: System reservoirs, determination of reservoir capacity, location of service reservoirs. Pumping: Suction pipe, pump characteristics, operation of pumps. Distribution System: Patterns of water distribution, pressure in pipes, valves. Design of Pipelines: determination of suitable slope, pipe size, and flowrates. Hydraulics of flow in pipes, design of distribution systems.
