Water Distribution System

Water Distribution Systemphysical works that deliver water from the water source to intended end point or userIs Water Distribution System important?

To deliver sufficient water quantity and quality to meet the requirements of the citizen of Jelapang.Domestic use -for cooking, cleaning, and drinkingFire protectionCommercial, industrial, institutional, and agricultural use

Method of Distribution Systemthree methods of distribution system, gravity system, direct pumped system and combination of gravity pumped system.Jelapang, PerakThe method of distribution system is combination of gravity and pumped system.Use of pumps and elevated storage, the excess water pumped during periods of low consumption is stored in elevated tanks or reservoirs.During high water consumption, the stored water supplement the water that is being pumped.Combination of gravity and pumped system.

AdvantagesDisadvantagesLow cost option under certain topographic conditions. Problems associated with operation and maintenance of pumping systems

Layout of Distribution Pipelinesdeliver water to consumer with appropriate quality, quantity and pressureGrid Iron System

Suitable for cities with rectangular layout, where the water mains and branches are laid in rectanglesEffective during maintenance workDuring water disruption,only small portion of the distribution layout is affectedNo stagnant water since there are dead ends and water circulation of free throughout. Water reaches all the points with minimum loss of head. Effective during fire or emergency
