Master Plan of Water Distribution System for Srinagar and Hanumanth Nagar Wards - using EPANET

Every metropolitan city requires a master plan which provides a conceptual layout to guide future growth and development of the city. One of the reasons for water crisis in developing countries is due to inefficient and wasteful water management systems. In this research paper EPANET is used to build the water network model, optimize it, compute head-loss, velocity of flow in each node and flow in each pipe in the water distribution. It can be used to consider and understand the growth of the demand of city with the design period of 30 years. The above knowledge is used to identify the risks related to the growth and to suggest measures to overcome these risks. The design of new model will make the respective authorities aware of the new challenges arising from changing demands
