Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, grade: 3.7, SIMAD University, course: water resource, language: English, abstract: Water is one of the essential natural resources. The water distribution system is a process that delivers water from its resource to the intended endpoint or user with quality and standard pressure. A sustainable water distribution system should provide an adequate quantity and appropriate quality water. To have sustainable water is a crucial issue in human life. A water distribution system is a hydraulic infrastructure that consists of different elements like pipes, valves, pumps, tanks, and reservoirs. This infrastructure helps to convey water from the source to the end users. Furthermore, a water distribution system must be able to assist the abnormal conditions such as pipe breakage, mechanical failure of pipes, valves, and control systems, power outages, and inaccurate demand projections. (Bhatt, 2017) A sustainable water distribution system network covers all the activities related to the provision of potable water. A sustainable water distribution system refers to as providing an adequate and reliable water distribution of desired quality now and for future generations in a manner that integrates economic growth, environmental protection, and social development (AWWA 2009)
