Design of Water Treatment Plant & Multi-Village Drinking Water Supply System Habitations in Yadgiri District

Abstract

The paper presents the design of a rural water distribution system for an area situated in a rural region. The study focuses on creating a water supply distribution network that necessitates treatment before distribution, catering to the estimated population for the next 30 years. Utilizing software tools such as AutoCAD, WaterGEMS, and the BRANCH version of Automatic STAD, the aim is to design the most cost-effective water distribution system. The study plans for intermittent water supply in the area, considering a water consumption rate of 55 liters per capita per day (lpcd). The economic diameter of the water supply distribution system is determined by taking into account various constraints, including residual nodal pressure, pipe flow velocity, pipe material, reservoir level, peak factor, and commercially available pipe diameters. The overarching goal is to establish a multi-village drinking water supply system that encompasses rural habitation and three urban areas—Kakkera, Kembhavi, and Hunasagi—in the Yadgiri district (Jaladhare) through a Design-Build-Operate-Transfer (DBOT) water supply system under the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM).
