    Water Distribution System

    Methods of water distribution…

    For efficient distribution system adequate water


    pressure required at various points.

    Depending upon the level of source,


    topography of the area and other local
    conditions the water may be forced into
    distribution system by following ways -
    1. Gravity system

    2. Pumping system

    3. Combined gravity and pumping system


    Gravity system…
    Suitable when source of supply is at sufficient
    height.
    Most reliable and economical distribution
    system.
    The water head available at the consumer is
    just minimum required.
    The remaining head is consumed in the
    frictional and other losses.
    Pumping system…
    Treated water is directly pumped in to the
    distribution main with out storing.
    Also called pumping without storage system.
    High lifts pumps are required.
    If power supply fails, complete stoppage of
    water supply.
    This method is not generally used.
    Combined gravity and pumping system

    Most common system.


    Treated water is pumped and stored in an
    elevated distribution reservoir.
    Then supplies to consumer by action of
    gravity.
    The excess water during low demand periods
    get stored in reservoir and get supplied during
    high demand period.
    Economical, efficient and reliable system.
    Distribution Reservoirs...
    Distribution reservoirs, also called service
    reservoirs, are the storage reservoirs, which
    store the treated water for supplying water
    during emergencies (such as during fires,
    repairs, etc.) and also to help in absorbing the
    hourly fluctuations in the normal water
    demand.
    Under Ground Reservoir
    ESR...
    Elevated Storage Reservoirs (ESRs) also
    referred to as Overhead Tanks are required at
    distribution areas which are not governed and
    controlled by the gravity system of
    distribution.
    These are rectangular, circular or elliptical in
    shape.
    If the topography of the town not suitable for
    under gravity, the elevated tank or reservoir
    are used.
    The accessories of ESR are-
    Inlet and outlet pipe, overflow pipe
    discharging into a drain
    Float gauge, indicating depth of water.
    Automatic device to stop pumping when the
    tank is full.
    A manhole and ladder.
    Ventilator for circulation of fresh air.
