Skaa 2032 - Part 4

The document summarizes the key components of a domestic water supply system. It discusses how water is obtained from a source like an aquifer or surface water, transported to a treatment facility to be treated, then stored before being distributed to consumers through a piping network. The distribution system aims to provide adequate water pressure and flow to all points in the system, including fire sprinklers if needed.

Domestic Water Supply System

1 WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Some civil engineers are responsible for designing systems that provide a
reliable and clean water supply.

✓ A water supply system begins at a water source.


✓ Water is transported to a treatment facility where the water is treated.
✓ Once treated, the water is transported to a storage facility (for example, a
water tower)
2 ✓ When a water faucet is opened or a fire sprinkler is activated, water is
transported through the distribution system to the consumer.
2 AQUIFERS (GROUNDWATER)

• Primary source of drinking water


• Porous consolidated rock or
unconsolidated soil
• Groundwater fills spaces
• Wells and pumps used to remove
water

Aquifer

2 SURFACE WATER

• Lakes, reservoirs, rivers


• Rivers dammed to create
reservoirs
• Reservoirs store water during
heavy rain/snow

3 WATER TREATMENT

✓ Amount of treatment
depends on quality of the
source
✓ Ground water requires
less treatment than
surface water

Consists of water lines, fittings,


valves, service lines, meters, and
fire hydrants

than branch system
• Isolation valves
• Water flows in more than LOOP BRANCH

Typical new system pipe


• Thermoplastic or ductile iron
• Reinforced concrete in larger
mains
Older system pipe
Cast-iron or asbestos cement
Typical distribution pressure of 65-
75 psi
Designed for less than 150 psi

7 PRINCIPLE OF PIPE FLOW

Head
Relates energy in an incompressible fluid
(like water) to the height of an equivalent
column of that fluid

7 PRINCIPLE OF PIPE FLOW

Static Head
• Potential energy of the water at
rest
• Measured in feet of water
• Change in elevation between
source and discharge

Pumped to Storage Tank


• Water pressure

o 1 psi = 2.31 feet of water

7 PRINCIPLE OF PIPE FLOW

Static Head
Ex: What is the static head at a residential supply line
if the water level in the elevated tank is 943 ft and the
elevation at the supply line is 890 ft?

16
943 ft – 890 ft = 53 feet of water
7 PRINCIPLE OF PIPE FLOW

Calculate friction loss in a cast iron pipe of diameter 300 mm carrying a


discharge of 200 L per second to a distance of 1000 m.

As the R is greater than 4000, the flow is turbulent. Using the given table, the
roughness height for CI pipes is Ɛ = 0.25 mm(2.5 x 10-4 m).

𝞮/D = 0.25 mm / 300 mm = 0.00083

7 PRINCIPLE OF PIPE FLOW

Water at 10 oC (ρ=999.7 kg/m3 and μ=1.307x10-3 kg/m.s)


is flowing steadily in a 0.2 cm diameter, 15 m long
pipe at an average velocity of 1.2 m/s. Determine;
a) the head loss, and
b) the pumping power requirement to overcome this
pressure drop

Which is less than 2300. Therefore, the flow is laminar. Then , the friction
