METHODS OF DISTRIBUTING WATER
Depending on the topography
between the source and the
consumer the following methods
may be used to transport water from
source to consumers with adequate
pressure-
1.Gravity system
2.Pumping system
3.Pump storage system
13
1.GRAVITY SYSTEM
Gravity system when the source is at a sufficient
elevation above the consumer to produce the
desired pressure. Highly economical
2.PUMPING SYSTEM
Pumping Pumps are used to develop
the necessary head (pressure) to
distribute to consumers and storage
reservoirs
3. PUMP STORAGE SYSTEM
Pump-Storage System- storage reservoirs are
used to maintain adequate pressure during
periods of high demand and emergency (fires &
power failures). During low consumption, water
is pumped and stored in the storage reservoir
LAY OUT OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
1. Dead end or tree system,
2. Grid iron system ,
3. Circular or ring system, and
4. Radial system.
1. DEAD END OR TREE SYSTEM,
This system is suitable for irregular
developed towns or cities . In this
system water flows in one direction
only into submains and branches.The
diameter of pipe decreases at every
tree branch.
2.GRID IRON SYSTEM ,
From the mains water enters the
branches at all junctions in either
directions into submains of equals
diameters. At any point in the line the
pressure is blanced from two directions
because of interconnected netwwork of
pipes.
3.CIRCULAR OR RING SYSTEM
Supply to the inner pipes is from the
mains around the boundary. It has the
same advantages as the grid iron
system.diameter pipes are needed. The
advantages and disadvantages are
same as that of grid iron system.
4.RADIAL SYSTEM
This is a zoned system. Water is
pumped to the distribution reservoirs
and from the reservoirs it flows by
gravity to the tree system of pipes. The
pressure calculations are easy in this
system. layout of roads needs to be
radial to eliminate loss of head in
bends. This is the most economical
system also if combined pumping and
gravity flow is adopted.
