Water distribution systems are designed to adequately satisfy the water requirement for domestic, commercial industrial and firefighting purpose. A spatial database of the water distribution systems (WDS) for Hayin-Banki was created in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment (ArcGIS), drawing inputs data from water supply and demand. Environmental Protection Agency Network (EPANET, 2.0) was used to analyze the WDS to explore its reliability in current and future scenarios. Mapping of the existing 12.270 km long distribution network revealed that the total length of ductile iron pipe (DIP) is 11.12 km and asbestos cement (AC) pipes is 1.15 km. Running the analysis identified supply gaps, which includes deficiencies in the distribution system (small diameters pipes, system losses) resulting to negative and very small pressures. Running simulations with EPANET and geospatial techniques was used to solve the identified deficiencies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
