Water Distribution Networks: Hydraulic Analysis
This lecture covers the design and analysis of water distribution networks, focusing on estimating water demand patterns and pressure at different points of the network. It explains the importance of accurately estimating water demand for present and future conditions, as well as the typical distribution of water demand in residential, commercial, industrial, and public sectors. The lecture also discusses the components of a water-supply system, minimum acceptable pressures in distribution systems, and network elements such as junctions, fixed grade nodes, and primary loops.
