Hydraulic analysis of a water distribution system

The main function of a water distribution system (WDS) is to transport water from the treatment facility to the customers. Furthermore, distribution systems provide storage, flow and pressure suitable for the system. In this project, a water distribution system for a small village is modelled. Initi...

Description
Summary:The main function of a water distribution system (WDS) is to transport water from the treatment facility to the customers. Furthermore, distribution systems provide storage, flow and pressure suitable for the system. In this project, a water distribution system for a small village is modelled. Initial data of the water distribution system were given by the Hydrodynamic Systems Department at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. To compute the hydraulics parameters in the water distribution system and run hydraulic simulations, the software Staci was used, which was developed by the same department
