Reduction in Carrying Capacity

Reduction in Carrying Capacity

Reduction in Carrying Capacity The carrying capacity of the pipeline depends on the diameter and the Hazen-Williams C-value, which is proportional to the smoothness of the interior surface of the pipe. Due to deposition of solids with time, the interior surface may be deteriorated and incrusted; in...
Degradation of Water Quality

Degradation of Water Quality

Degradation of water quality Entry of subsoil or contaminated water through leaky pipes and joints especially in intermittent system may cause the degradation of water quality in the water distribution system. At the dead ends of the system accumulated solids may aid the biological organisms, which...
Controlling Water Leakage and Wastage

Controlling Water Leakage and Wastage

How to avoid  Leakage in Water Line Some of the following actions will be useful in controlling the leakage and wastage. During construction: metering of all consumers’ connections, introduction of realistic tariffs, use of non- corrodible quality materials for house service...
Problems in Water Supply Distribution System

Problems in Water Supply Distribution System

The problems normally faced in  water supply distribution system are: Un-accounted for water (Leakage and Wastage of water), Degradation of quality of water, Reduction in carrying capacity, and Inadequate pressures at tail ends of the system Un-Accounted For Water Un-accounted for water (UFW)...
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Operation &  Maintenance  Of  Distribution System. A water distribution system is not just pipes and valves, but rather like a living organism — a dynamic, sensitive, complex entity that must be operated properly to maintain safe and good quality water at the customer’s tap.To be...
INFILTRATION WELLS

INFILTRATION WELLS

Infiltration well or sunk well is only the inter position of a masonry or concrete barrel into such a formation so as to intercept as large a quantity of water as possible. Infiltration wells are generally proposed in the river bank, riverbed or lakebed to tap water from the unconfined aquifer....

Operation and Maintenance of Transmission

Main breaks ( Main pipeline Work )   Pipeline bursts/ main breaks can occur at any time and the maintenance wing shall have a plan for attending to such events. This plan must be written down, disseminated to all concerned and the agency must always be in readiness to implement the plan...
Water Leak Detection and Rectification

Water Leak Detection and Rectification

Leak detection and rectification Leak Detection and rectification in water and its related water treatment department program has a significant role in the Operation & Maintenance of  the water distribution system. It is required not only from the point of saving water lost by leakage but also...
Water Boon

Water Boon

Water Boon  Water owes most of its properties to a very strong mutual bonding ( attraction) among its molecules. This strength is called hydrogen bonding. Because of it, water is normally in the liquid state, not a solid or ice. it expands while freezing and that is why ice always flots on...
OBJECTIVES OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

OBJECTIVES OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The objectives of the water distribution system are to supply water equitably to the consumers with sufficient pressure so as to discharge the water at the desired location within the premises. A water distribution system consists of a network of pipelines of various sizes with control valves for...
