Economic design of alternative system to reduce the water distribution losses for sustainability

Abstract

Water companies and their consumers affected with leakages in water distribution system worldwide. This has attracted many practitioner’s attention as well as researchers over the past years. Selected study area suffers from water losses of about 10 to 15% which accounts to loss of about 9 to 9.75 million liters per month. The present study was under taken to understand, analyze and evaluate the losses and suggest preventive measures of wrapping and repair clamping for control of these losses. The assessment of water losses is done through comparative analysis of data using Microsoft Excel software. Population forecasting is done in context of assessing the amount of water lost that can be prevented in future decades, adjusting to increased water demand and losses. For better efficiency of the suggested methods, experimental analysis was carried out on a reduced scale model of a single stretched pipeline. Cost estimation of the preventive measures was done by obtaining information about the materials used by trading professionals.

A Review on Comparison of Different Water Leak Detection Techniques Suitable for Indian Scenario

“…There are limited available resources of water in the different parts of the world, India is one of them and a decrease in the quantity of it spreads scarcity to the users. 1 Developing countries like India, China, countries of Africa, and Bangladesh have expected more water scarcity as compared to other countries with the consideration of population growth and migration towards major cities of countries. 2 To fulfill this,every major city of India expands its distribution network concerning an increase in water supply demand due to the growth of population as well as the development of the new area in different directions of the cities.…”
