Marlas, 10 Marlas and 1 Kanal. This scheme also has 3 flats
of double story, 3 apartments, 2 parks, open spaces,
graveyard, school and 4 commercial areas.
The estimated population of the society is 7587 persons.
2 tube wells are provided at the central park of the society
with over head reservoir (OHR) which 20m high from the
ground surface.
1.2. Location:
The Future Vision Housing Society Situated at Left side of
Jehlum road near upper Chenab canal.
1.3. Important Salient Features:
In this housing society following important salient
features are provided.
School
Dispensary
Parks
Commercial Areas
Treatment Plant
Plots
Flats
Apartments
Graveyard

1.4. Climate:
Climate of the area in summer season is very hot.
Temperature ranges from 30C to 45C.While in winter season
the temperature fall up to 0C.
Due to hot condition in summer the water consumption is
very high and in winter water consumption is low.
1.5. Topography of the area:
The surface area of the society is almost flat. The maximum
reduce level is 100.8m and minimum reduce level is
98.0m.There is very small difference in level.
Chapter2. Assumptions
2.1. Design Period:
The design period of water distribution system of
Future Vision Housing Society
is 25 years.

2.2. Design Population:

Present (2014) Future (2039)
Persons/Plot 7 11
Persons/Apartmen 400 645
t
Persons/Flat 200 425

Present (2014) population of the society is 4374 persons.

Future (2039) population of the society is 7587persons.

2.3. Water Consumption:

It is the amount of water in volume that is consumed
for different purposes.Generally it is
expressed in liter/capita/day (lpcd).

Per capita water consumption = 500+20(14)

=
500+20(8+6) = 780 lpcd
Where Y = Sum of digits of my registration No.

Average day W.C : Max day W.C = 1 : 1.5

Average day W.C : Peak Hour W.C= 1: 2.25

2.4. Maximum Day Consumption:

Max day water consumption = 1.5 X
avg. day W.C
= 8949638 L/d
2.5. Peak Hour Consumption:
 Peak hour water consumption = 2.25 X
avg. day W.C

=13424456 L/d
2.6. Water Requirement For;
o School:
Water consumption for school = 60 X 200 = 12000 L/d

o Commercial Area:
Commercial Area = 5.5 cm2 =550 m2
Water consumption for commercial area = 3 X 550 =
1650 L/d
o Dispensary:
Water consumption for dispensary = 50 X 20 =1000 L/d
o Open Spaces/Parks:
Water consumption for open spaces/parks = 4845 X 7 =
33915 L/d
o Total W.C:
Total W.C = 48565 L/d
2.7. Maximum Head Loss Per Km:
In design the assumption for maximum head loss is
10 m/km.
Chapter3. Design Criteria
3.1. Design Flows for WDS:
Average design Flow = (7587 X 780) + 48565
= 5966425 L/d
Design Flow For T/W = 1.5 X 5966425
=8949638 L/d
3.2. Design Equation Used:
Here Hazen William Equation is used to findout Head
losses.

HL = 10.65 (Q/C)1.85 L/(D)4.87

Where,
H = Head loss (m/km)
Q = Discharge (m/sec)
C = Roughness Coefficient
L = Length of pipe (m)
D = Diameter of pipe (m)

3.3. Height Of OHR And Capacity of OHR:

Height of over head reservoir is 20 m from the ground
surface.
Capacity of over head reservoir is 1/6 of the daily avg.
W.C.

Capacity of OHR = 1/6 X 5966425

= 994404.17 L/d
= 994.4 m 3/d
3.4. Number of T/w Installed:
There are two tube wells are installed in the central park
of the society.
One of them runs on electricity and other on diesel.
3.5. Types of Pipes Used in the Scheme:
In this design two types of pipes are used for the water
supply system.
o Cast Iron Pipes:
 These pipes are from tubewell to OHR and from OHR to
node #1.
The HWC for cast iron pipe is 100.

Cast Iron Pipe

o Asbestos Cement Pipe:

From node #1 to node #23 all the pipes that are used
are asbestos cement pipes.
The HWC for asbestos cement pipe is 140.
 3.6. Diameter of Pipes:
In water supply system pipes of various diameter are
used.The minimum
diameter of the pipe is 80mm.And also pipes of various
diameter are used
in this water supply system i.e.
100mm,150mm,200mm,250mm,300mm,
350mm,400mm and 450mm.
3.7. Increment in dia size:
The increment in diameter size of the pipe is about
50mm.
3.8. Max and Min Velocity in W/S Pipes:
The maxium velocity in this water supply system is in
pipe no.22 which 2.21m/sec
and minimum velocity is in pipe no.10 which is 0.33
m/sec
3.9. Pressure in Pipes:
In water supply system the minimum pressure in pipes is
15 and max
Pressure is 20.
In this design
Max Pressure =
 Min Pressure =
3.10. Cover on Pipes:
Cover on pipes are provided for the safety of the
pipes.For water supply
System the pipes are installed in 1m depth of ground.
3.11. Placing of Valves:
Valves are provided to regulate the flow,control of
pressure and to cut
off of the water supply. There are 2 valves are provided
at each node
and one valve for fire hydrent.

3.12. Placing of Fire Hydrant:

Fire hydrants are used to supply water for fire
fighting.
Fire hydrants should have at least 2 hose outlets and a
larger pump
outlet.Fire hydrant is provided at 1m from the edge of
the road.
In this design there is one fire hydrant is provided.
Chapter4. Design of Water Distribution System
4.1 Loop Programme:
Loop is a computer program in BASIC for Hydraulic
Simulation of Looped Water Distribution Networks.
o Brief History:
Loop programme is the computer software developed
by the University of North California, USA.This software is
developed in 1986. This software uses the algorithm of Hardy
Cross which is based on two principles
Inflow at node = Out flow at node
o Limitations:
This software has following limitations
a. Max Number of nodes = 400
b. Max Number of pipes = 500
c. Can handle 10 nodes with known HGL

o Input Data Required:

Following input data is required to run the
programme.
a. Pipe number
 b. Node number
c. Diameter of pipe
d. Pipe number
e. HWC of the pipe
o Output Informations Provided:
Following output informations are provided by the
programme.
a. Head loss in pipes
b. Pressure at nodes
c. Flow in pipes
d. Velocity in pipes
e. Direction of flow
o Units Employed in Loop for Various
Parameters:
The units used in this software are
a. Length in m
b. Diameter in mm
c. Flow in L/sec
d. Velocity in m/sec
e. Elevation in m
f. HGL in m
g. Head Loss in m
o Node Fixation:
In this loop programme node #100 is fixed due to
constant discharge.
o Signs applied for input and output flows:
Here ,
+ve sign indicates input flow
-ve sign indicates output flow
4.2. Procedure:
First of all draw the layout of water distribution system.
Represent each node with the help of a dot.
Allocate plots or area to each node. The allocation of
plots to the nodes should be as realistic and balanced as
possible.
 Using per capita water consumption value (lpcd),
calculate avg. water consumption at each node in
liter/second.
Take a tracing paper equal in size to your map and trace
the pipe and nodes network on it. Now represent each
node with a small circle.
Give number to each pipe and node (inside the circle).
Give such numbers to T/W and OHR so that these two
nodes can easily be distinguished from other network
nodes.
Measure the lengths of pipes according to the scale and
write the lengths on the tracing sheet. Also write reduce
levels with each node on tracing sheet.
Write nodal flows in lit/sec on tracing sheet using an
arrow head.
