ABSTRACT
This Report consists of the design of water supply and sanitation of Bahir Dar town as per the
information on feasibility study. The existing water supply system for Bahir Dar town is more or
less functional. Regards to the alarmingly increasing of population and the development of the
town, the existing water supply is not sufficient. Therefore, additional water supply is a must. By
this case to meet the present and future demand, a new project has been designed for the next 25
years, until the year 2038.
In forecasting the population geometric increasing method was used and the design populations
of 324900 and 485600 estimated for phase I and II respectively. Similarly the average daily
demand for the two phases found to be 345 l/s and 829.2 l/s. To satisfy this demand three springs
( Areke, Lomi and Tikur wuha ) and Lake Tana have been selected.
Eleven service reservoirs have been designed with the capacity of 2000m3. This report includes
the structural design of the reservoir. Moreover, the distribution system designed thoroughly to
meet the pick hour demand using Epanet 2.0. Generally, the project needs a capital cost of
265,456,836.6 Birr to implement.

Introduction
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Water is one of the necessities for human being and for all living things. Water means nothing
but just life as it constitutes the major part of the core of the cell, the protoplasm which is about
70% in content of the cell , even though water is a critical necessity for life , it has on adverse
effect to life unless and other wise properly handled.
Ethiopia is very well known for its enormous potential all of which is generated in its own
tertiary and it is still known the water towers in Africa. However, most towns of Ethiopia have a
problem of adequate and potable supply of water. Similarly Bahir Dar has a series water
problem. The design study includes brief assessment of physical and social conditions of
infrastructures, water sources and potentially existing and future water requirement of the town
.Therefore the study sets out the forecast of water demands throughout the design period and
identification of sources capable of supply in those demands both quantifiably and qualitatively.
This project report presents the reassessment and design of water supply system for Bahir Dar
town. The work consists of assessment of existing water supply system, population forecasting,
demand assessment, suitable source identification, design of treatment plant, selection of pumps
for suitable heads and capacity design of service reservoir and distribution of networks.
1.3 Climate
Climate, which is a long-term view of the weather pattern of a particular locality, is frequently
more useful as an environmental tool. In order to understand the environment and the possible
impact of human activity on it a basic knowledge of climate is required.According to the
Ethiopian temperature zoning of the town of Bahir Dar having an average elevation of 1795 m
above mean sea level lies between the Kolla and Weyna Dega zones. It has a very pleasant
climate with warm days and cool nights.
The mean annual precipitation is about 1037 mm, 54% of the falls in july and august and only
3% falls during the four dry months. The mean annual ambient temperature is 160c. Maximum
temperature usually occurs in March to May. The mean monthly maximum exceeds 260c.
Minimum temperatures are at their lowest in November to February.

Introduction
1.4 Geology
Bahir Dar area, which is located in the southern part of Lake Tana basin, is characterized by
volcanic rocks of different age. The volcanic in Lake Tana region is divided into two major
parts; the first part is the older part, which belongs to Tertiary, while the second and younger part
is the quaternary volcanic product. The quaternary volcanic, which occupied large part of the
southern and southwestern Lake Tana basin, also outcrop in most part of the study area. This
group is sometimes known as the ‘Aden group’. In the southern part of Lake Tana basin where
the study area is located one can see numerous widely spaced small crates and cinder cones,
which covered several hundred square kilometers. The relatively recent lava flows, cinder cones,
and dikes occurring at Bahir Dar area are the youngest phases of volcanic activity in the Lake
Tana sub basin.

Introduction
1.7.3 Sanitation
Bahir Dar town has no sewerage system and only few households have flushed toilets. The
majority of the population uses dry pit latrines. The town has nine public toilets constructed by
the municipality, 16 constructed by UNICEF. The town used individually 59.7% of the sanitary
facilities and 14.7% are shared. Some 33.5% of the households are not satisfied with their
present latrine system because of lack of privacy and sanitation problem of the facilities.
The existing storm water sewers are not effective at present because of small diameters and
blockage by dirt and rubbish carried by the flood water. Due to lack of finance, timely
maintenance of the sewer system is not being done. (source Feasibility study Bahir Dar town ).

D) Adjustment due to climate
A change in climate is one of the factors, which affect the water demand of the population under
consideration. Bahr Dar town is categorized under mean annual rainfall between 900- 1200mm
which is 1037mm. the appropriate climate adjustment factor is 1 from the table 2.6. Due to the
annual precipitation and socio-economic condition of the town necessary to adjust the above
demand based up on the following guide line.
Table 2-6 Adjustment due to mean annual precipitation
In the case of Bahr Dar, the annual mean precipitation is about 1037mm and the socio-economic
condition of the town is high living standard & very potential development that belongs to group
B & A respect in both cases.
Thus, the overall adjustment of the projected per capital demand for the town can be calculated a
D adjusted = climatic factor* socio-economic factor*D
D adjusted = D * 1.0* 1.1= 1.1D
Where: - D adjusted = adjusted per capital domestic demand
D= domestic demand

Water Demand
2. Industrial demand
The demand for industrial water supply is generally assessed separately. In case of Bahir Dar
town some categories of industries will be included in domestic demand. But industries having
high water consumption are often expected to have their own source of supply. For example, the
existing textile, match and edible oil factories have their own water source. Hence future
industrial water demand is not considered at this stage.
3. Fire requirements
The quantity of water needed to extinguish fire depends upon population, contents of Buildings,
density of buildings and their resistance to life. If fires are not properly controlled and
extinguished in minimum possible time, they lead to serious damages and may burn the city.
Therefore, by above case to taken more accurate & life sever is 6% of domestic demand for fire
fighting in the up to end of design period.

Water sources
3.1 General
The existing system water supply source of Bahir dar town is Lake Tana and three springs (i.e.
lomi, Areke and Tikur wuha spring. Determining the water source is the main task in water
supply scheme. Knowing the water demand required for the population at the design period, the
next step is to search water source, which may be able to supply the required quantity of water at
the end of the design period. According to the literature review of Bahar Dar locality an alternate
water supply source options are identified, this includes an investigation of potential capacities of
ground water and surface water.
Lakes
The area of Lake Tana is cover 3035km2 and area of drainage without lake itself is 100km2. The
maximum depth is 300m.There are number of islands, the largest being Dek and Degga. The lake
lies in large formed by structural deformation, erosion and volcanic rock extrusion. The reason to
select this Lake Tana has good discharge and small variation of quantity at dry and wet season
throughout the year, due to this reason and future development town Lake Tana is suitable source
of water supply for Bahir Dar town.
Spring
A number of springs have been located at the vicinity of Bahir Dar airport. Since a large number
of springs located around the Bahir dar have get probable chance to obtain high potential source
of water supply. The closet located being only 8km away from the town. Those springs has a
steady yield, even during the driest months. The yield of Areke, lomi, and Tikur wuha springs
are 140l/s, 60l/s, and 60l/s respectively for the driest season. According to feasibility study Tikur
wuha is locate 600m from Lomi spring. This Tikur wuha is connected with Lomi spring and
collected in one intake structure. Therefore, lomi, areke, Tikur wuha spring are recommended as
the source of water supply for Bahir Dar town.
Generally, the location of Lake Tana and springs are the nearest to the town and also the quantity
of Lake Tana provide high satisfactory of discharge water supply for Bahir Dar town.
Therefore,lake tana and springs( Areke, lomi and tikur wuha) are selected for sources of the
Bahir Dar town water supply system.

Pump
4. PUMP
In a water supply system, it is necessary to inject external energy in to the system and almost all
pumps increase the pressure energy of the liquid which is subsequently converted in to potential
energy as the liquid is lifted from a lower level to a higher level Compensate for the inherent
friction loss associated with the pumping network and Lift the water from lower to higher level.
For proper selection of pump, it is necessary, to brave certain essential data on the pump
installation .The information selection of pump should include: Number of pump units required,
Nature of liquid to be pumped, Capacity of pump, Suction conditions, Discharge conditions,
Total head, Position of pump (i.e. horizontal or vertical), Intermittent or continuous service and
Location geographical, in door, outdoor elevation etc.
In our case that is for Bahir Dar water supply system pumping is required to pump the raw
water to balancing reservoir then go to treatment plant by gravity. Among the two types of
pumps, i.e. Reciprocating and Centrifugal pumps.
Among the different types of pumps centrifugal pumps are selected for Bahir Dar water supply
system due to the above mentioned factors.

5.5.2 FILTRATION
Filtration is a physical, chemical and biological process for separating suspended impurities from
water by passage through a porous media. It consists of passing water through a thick layer of
sand. Filters may be classified as Slow sand filters and Rapid sand filters.
Rapid sand filters:-are suitable for big cities where land cost is high and variation in demand of
water is considerable and Rate of filtration is high. For Bahir Dar town rapid sand filter is
recommended from economical point of view because the population growth is high and the
town expands extensively.

Filter Unit
.The size of a filter unit is determined by the required amount of water needed. It consists of two
or more units of sizes depending upon the capacity of the plant.
- Depth of tank ranges between (2.5-3.5m)
- Length to breadth ratio of between (1.25-1.33)
- Surface area of each filter ranges between (10-80m2)
- Rate of filtration is between (4000-5000l/m2/hr) (source:-okun, 1984)
Based on the above recommendations:
Assume rate of filtration =5000l/m2/hr

5.7 Disinfections
Disinfection is the process of killing the pathogenic bacteria from water and making it safe to the
public use. The aim of disinfection is to reduce the number of micro organisms to a safe limit.
The most common disinfection methods are: By boiling the water, by using excess lime, by
using ultra-violet rays, by potassium permanganate, by using Iodine & Bromine and by using
chlorine. All the above methods are Used for disinfection but we selected by using chlorine
method due to the most available and very cheap to comparative others.
Chlorination
When chlorine is added to water, it produces nascent oxygen which kills the bacteria. Types of
chlorination depending up on the amount of chlorine added are Plane chlorination, Supper
chlorination, pre chlorination, post chlorination, double chlorination, break point chlorination
and chlorine demand.
Post Chlorination
Usually it refers to the addition of chlorine to the water after all other treatment. The calcium
hypochlorite solution used for this project has 56% of available chlorine assumed.
Design discharge =1.0845m3/sec
Chlorine dose required =1.5mg/liter (assumed)
Quantity of chlorine required
Since we have assumed bleaching powder contains 56% available chlorine, the amount of
bleaching powder =140.5*56/100 =78.7kg/day.

Distribution System
7. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
7.1 General
The water distribution system is the part of the water work which receives the water from the
pumping station or the conduit by the gravity flow or by pumping and deliverers it throughout
the district to be served. The water distribution system includes pipe, valves, hydrants, and
appurtenances for conveying water stand posts, distribution reservoirs etc. It is necessary to
maintain a sufficient pressure in the distribution system in order to protect it against
contamination by in the press of polluted seepage water.
The distribution systems are, generally, supplied by gravity from the associated reservoirs and
pumped from treatment plant in to reservoirs. Therefore, the distribution system of Bahir Dar
town is used to dual system.
diameter mains and also in cases where very high pressure necessitates there in smaller diameter
pipes. Based on the comparison related to the above factors, ductile cast iron for main
transmissions, pipes for higher pressure areas and smaller diameter pipes; and PVC pipes are
suitable to Bahir Dar town water supply. PVC pipes are cheap and available in the market.
7.6 Appurtenances
Appurtenances are different devices used for controlling the flow of water, for preventing
leakage and other similar purposes in the distribution system. The following appurtenances are
used for this distribution system:
1. Valves
Valves are required to control the flow of water, to regulate pressures, to release or to admit air,
to prevent flow of water in opposite direction and other purposes.
2. Fire hydrants
These devices are used for tapping water from mains for fire extinguishing, street washing,
watering gardens, and flushing sewer lines and for other purposes. These are provided at all
junctions of roads and at 100 to 130 meters apart along the roads.
3. Pipe fittings
Various types of pipe fittings such as unions, caps, plugs, flanges, nipples, crosses, tees, elbows,
bends etc are used during lying of distribution pipes.
4. Water meters
Meters are required to determine the quantity of water flowing through pipes and quantities of
water supplied to private houses, industries, public buildings etc.
5. Service connections
A service connection is primarily a connection from the distribution system to the consumer.
6. Man holes
At every change of alignment, manholes are constructed for giving access for inspection,
cleaning, repairs and maintenance.

Sanitation
8. SANITATION
Most of the excreta disposal facilities comprise pit latrines that are poorly constructed, with
offensive smell and are over filled due to lack of a vacuum truck to de-sludge when a latrine is
full or due to lack of space in the compound or money to build a new one. The overall sanitation
situation of the town is poor and sanitation associated diseases are found prevalent.
The socio-economic survey conducted under this project depicted that 20% of the sampled
households defecate in open fields, 75% use either private or shared pit latrines while the
remaining 5% use public toilets. The main reason for open field defecation is either due to lack
of space in the compound for construction of a new latrine facility or due to financial constraint
for de-sludging or construction of alternative toilet facility.
In Bahir Dar town there is no excreta disposal system for commercial areas, such as the bus
station and the open market areas and shops. However, some hotels have water dependent toilet
facility while some have VIP latrines. Some of the governmental offices have water dependent
latrines while others have dry pit latrines. Schools have toilet facilities in poor conditions.
The main purpose of sanitation is to maintain such environments as will not affect the public
health in general. This project considered to the financial aspects, Population, Source of sewage
and Rate of sewage.

Development of water resource is the one, which control the development of a society.
Obviously, such a large-scale water resource development would change in the environmental
situation around the project and even at far places as far as there is an ecosystem i.e. like
environment, which are found in the d/s of the diversion. Such changes could have a result of
positive or negative impacts. The positive impacts have to be enhanced where as the negative
impacts should be avoided if possible, else minimized to the extent that they would not be
significant compared to the usefulness of the project. For examining and identifying such effects
environmental impact assessment (EIA) is a tool and should be under taken in adequate and
comprehensive manner.

EIA
Impacts on grazing land and vegetation mainly for construction of access road.
Due to the diversion of water, in the downstream community there will be endangering
of life. For example, the flora and the fauna will come to dangerous scarcity of water and
probably dead or otherwise migration will happen.
Although temporary and not that much significant during construction vehicles and
machines will have an atmospheric pollution effect.
As there is a natural disturbance of the river during flooding it will result significant
catastrophe.

Cost
The estimation of costs of water supply and sanitation schemes and their component for the
project town requires considering a number of factors including the implementation time, the
available infrastructural facilities, availability and cost of labor and the distance of the specific
town from Addis Ababa. To facilitate and standardize the task of estimating costs for alternative
scheme a systematic approach has been use. Engineering cost estimate of project components for
phase I and II are summarized and presented in table 10.1. But to briefly estimate the individual
items for each material used and other resources are detailed in Annex II.
Table 10-1 Summarized Cost Estimate for two phases.
The breakdown of each project component is depending up on per drawing and price of material
on the market.
Note: The price quoted for the supply of pipes and fittings of the raising main is for DCI. If the
there is option to supply the pipes and fittings of steel pipe, the supplier should provide new price
quotation for approval and amendments of contract.

Conclusion
11.1 Conclusion
The existing water supply system for Bahir Dar town is more or less functional even if it is
executed on a quite low technical standard and it also contains all the components that exist in a
water supply project such as a good source of water, transmission, intake structure, service
reservoir, distribution network and soon. But it can’t afford the demands of the population.
The economic design period is selected depending on the life of materials used and high
expansion rate. The population forecasting methods are tested to determine which one is the
most appropriate for the town. It is shown that the method of geometric forecasting is the
selected method with inadequate data of central statically authority. The water demand analysis
made to satisfy the domestic water demand, nondomestic water demand, fire demand and loss
demand for the population to be served in each service mode, water demand growth rate, and
projected water demand by mode of service and adjustment of water demand due to climatic and
socio-economic factors are made.
At present , the population number of Bahir Dar is estimated from population forecasting to be
324900 by the year 2028 and 485600 by the year 2038. The associated water demand on
maximum day is 37005.9m3/d and 89243.2m3/d respectively. The demand of the population is
calculated based on two phases i.e. the first phase is up to 2028 and the next one is to 2038. They
are used to identify the suitable sources for satisfying for the first 15 years and for the next 10
years and for design of each components of the scheme to make economical for both phases.
For the selected three springs and lake source appropriate site is selected for the intake structure
location. The design of intake structure as well spring developments are under taken so that the
required amount of water demand can be extracted well. The selected source for our scheme is
surface water (mainly Lake Tana) and spring near the town for all phases.
The water treatment for Bahir Dar town water supply consists of chlorination, coagulation,
flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. After proper disinfections the treated water is pumped
to service reservoir from which it goes to the distribution system. The distribution system
consists of eight service reservoirs for the first phase and eleven service reservoirs for the second
phase situated at higher ground elevation to allow flow of water by gravity through the
distribution networks. At various point on the distribution network, important valves and fittings
have been used. The distribution net work should be done in two distinctive phases by
considering the town’s expansion at 2028 and 2038.

Final Year Project
Conclusion
11.2 Recommendation
However, springs (i.e. Areke, Lomi and Tikur wuha) are not sufficient to fulfill the demand
requirement for both phases completely; there may be reduce the amount of water during winter
season. Thus, Lake Tana is used for water supply more sufficient amount of water have been
taken for future. The foundation of the intake structure should be well treated if it is differ from
the assumed foundation because there is no clear data about the weir site, to resist the over
turning moments. At the intake the rounded screen must be properly controlled to improve the
design discharge and to make the intake structure free from silt, blockage and any damage
frequent up must be done.
The treatment plant must be fenced, the surrounding area must be kept to avoid migration of dust
by wind action, and properly designed sanitation networks have to be implemented, the tank
should be washed out regularly and filters back washed as schedule and pH of the mixed water
should be checked and if necessary time be added. It is good to optimize the pipeline routes, so
that the length is minimized and cost is saved.
Pipes should not be in position where it is difficult to use it for extension or repairs.
Where corrosive condition exists the pipe work must be thoroughly cleaned and protected by
suitable means and liable to mechanical damage it must be protected by adequate guards and
vertical risers.
Generally, the water supply and sanitation facilities are among the primary needs of the people.
Therefore it is always the essential things in order to maintain project for its design period
effectively by satisfying the required demand. So the users should understand the invested capital
on the project and use properly.
