I. INTRODUCTION
Water is an, very important requirement in our day to day life. Providing continuous water supply i.e. 24x7 water supply to every
consumer throughout the year, is one of the important emerging trend in water supply management. The provision of continuous
water supply is made by the accurate design of the water distribution network with optimum design of pipes, pumps and tanks, etc.
to minimize the overall cost of the project. The definition of 24x7 water supply is- “The supply of potable water to end users
through system of pipes – comprising interlinked bulk transmission and/or distribution systems – which are continuously full and
under positive pressure throughout their whole length, such that the end user may draw off water at any time of the day or night, 24
hours a day, every day of the year.[1] Design of water distribution network is a critical part of water supply system which
contributes for the major share of overall expenditure incurred in it, hence systematic and proper design as well as modeling of
distribution network becomes crucial one.With the advancement in the field of water supply, many field experts, scientists, research
scholars, developers and programmers developed number of software’s for design and modeling of water distribution systems.

A. Aim Of Sujal-Nirmal Abhiyaan

In Maharashtra state, population of the urban areas is rising rapidly. The State Government has embarked upon “SujalNirmal
Abhiyaan”. Under this program, it has been decided to give sufficient financial help to the Urban Local Bodies (ULB) which are
ready to improve the Urban Water Supply Schemes, Sewerage & Sanitation, including public toilets and dry waste disposal. For
Water Supply Component, Sujal-Nirmal Abhiyaan aims at achieving 24x7 water supplies as per the central government guidelines
with emphasizing the focus on water conservation. It is a program to improve and sustain the performance of urban water supply by
active participation of the ULBs with government support.

B. Background
Now-a-days demand for drinking water is increasing day by day with corresponding increase in population. This continuously
increasing demand can be fulfilled by designing efficient water distribution networks based on advance computing systems which
include modern hydraulic modelling and designing software. In order to deliver adequate service, these systems must be carefully
planned, designed, operated and maintained. Design of distribution network for continuous water supply can be easily achieved with
the help of software water gems, which is used for water distribution modelling and management. The present study shows the
remodelling of existing network and also designing the water distribution network using a programming tool, which performs the
extended period simulation of hydraulic and water quality behaviour within the pressurized network of pipes called Watergems.

C. Motivations
Government of Maharashtra (GoM) has undertaken “Sujal-Nirmal Abhiyaan” project for up gradation of water systems of small &
medium towns under which government insisted various urban local bodies in the state to participate. The definition of 24x7 water
supply is- “The supply of portable water to end users through system of pipes comprising interlinked bulk transmission and/or
distribution systems which are continuously full and under positive pressure throughout their whole length, such that the end user
may draw off water at any time of the day or night, 24 hours a day, every day of the year Design of water distribution network is a
critical part of water supply system which contributes for the major share of overall expenditure incurred in it, hence systematic and
proper design as well as modeling of distribution network becomes crucial one.

Watergems can perform following functions effectively:
1) Building a network and performing a steady state analysis.
2) Extended Period Simulation (EPS).
3) Scenario management.
4) Reporting results.
5) Automated fire flow analysis.
6) Water quality analysis.

F. Necessity of Redesign Water Distribution System

In India, water availability controls population distribution. To meet the increased water demand due to growing urban population, it
is necessary to provide the required water quantity through the efficient design of pipe network. The most important task in
distributing desired water quantity to individual consumers is the necessary pressure through a distribution network. It is essential
that each point of the distribution network be supplied with a certain quantity of water flow with all the desired parameters. The
water supply in most Indian cities is only available for a few hours of a day, pressure is irregular, and the water is of questionable
quality. The function of a pipe network system is to supply water at required pressure and flow.
G. Purpose and Objective
Water is an, very important requirement in our day to day life. Providing continuous water supply i.e. 24x7 water supply to every
consumer throughout the year, is one of the important emerging trend in water supply management. Design of the water supply
system to satisfy the functional requirement should not be the only objective but to satisfy the functional requirement at the lowest
cost is most important. This paper represents the study for the design and analysis of rural water supply systems considering the
aspect of economical design of the network. As per census of India of 2011, approximately 68% to 70% population of India is
staying in the rural area. Indian government has decided to provide safe, regular and adequate water to the consumer at their resident
through the pipe distribution system in rural area.

Evaluation of Intermittent Water Supply System and Design of 24x7 for a residential area in Mysore, Karnataka, by Rakesh Beg.
Al.,[4] India-Water is a basic need for life, without water life would not exist. Today in Indian scenario about one in every nine
people lack access to good quality water. Although water is renewable it is finite and precious. Now-a days due to increase in water
demand resulted in depleting ground water resources that in turn increased in the capital cost for water supply thus, alternative
methods for conservation are to be developed one such is 24x7 which helps to prevent deliberate wasting of water in comparison to
intermittent water supply system.

Design of Optimal Water Supply Network and Its Water Quality Analysis by using WaterGEMS Sajedkhan S. Pathan[8] and Dr. U.
J. Kahalekar[9] (2013): In this paper design of water supply network duly considering optimization in addition to the cost
minimization, minimum head requirement and minimum chlorine requirement is presented. A design is obtained duly considering
minimum and maximum head and velocity criteria in order to determine the actual supply form each node to all consumers. In this
paper a part of Aurangabad city is designed and its water quality analysis is done by WATERGEMS software.
Sumithra R.P., et. al.[10], (2013)- has carried out the feasibility analysis of water distribution system of Tirunelveli Municipal
Corporation, Tamilnadu, India with the help of LOOP and WaterGEMS softwares packages for design period of 30 years. The
variety of analysis has been carried out yielding wide range of results for diameter of pipes, pressure at different nodes, cost
analysis, etc. Vaghela[11] and Bhagat [12](2013) :- In this paper hydraulic analysis of Water distribution network of laxminagar
territory of west zone of Rajkot City is carried out. the whole analysis is based on Steady State condition. The result obtained
verified that the pressure at all junction and the flows with their velocities at all pipes are feasible enough to provide adequate water
to the network of study area. At the end of the analysis it was found that the resulting pressure at all nodes and the flows with their
velocities are sufficient to provide to the study area.
Dilip Babubhai Paneria et al[13] (2017) In this study, the existing water distribution system is simulated through construct of a
model using Bentley Water GEMS. It helped in analyzing the entire network system, visualized the effects of constituent
components and parameters as well as the pressure at end node is detected low, that shows the consumer near the reservoir having
more advantages of water than the one that resides away from the reservoir.
Prof. A.G.Chaudhari, et al[14] (2017) has worked on WaterGEMS software will be used for obtaining optimal design of water
supply network of a part of Nasik city. With the help of WaterGEMS software, design of optimal water supply network will be done
with achieving objective of minimizing the overall cost while meeting the water demand requirements at sufficient pressures for
specified maximum discharge over a long period of time. The software also gives different alternative optimal design solution
considering pipe diameters, pipe material and roughness coefficient based on head dependent analysis.
Shinde Parmanand Bhaskar [15](2017), A study was undertaken to suggest measures for the improvement to the distribution system,
which can easily fulfill the demand for water in the city and can lead to development of the city in near future. The paper presents
results of analysis carried out using Bentley systems Water gems for basic design of distribution system which consist of reservoir,
pipe network and ESR. Various materials’ costs can be marked and cost estimation is not considered in this study as it depends on
the authority to approve, but PVC cost is the lowest among the all materials and durable as well. Hence, PVC is suggested for
adoption.
III. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
A. Procedure
1) System Layout
By using GIS and surveying the field with the help of Council Engineers and water supply staff, we track the entire water network
starting from source to line before consumer end with the help of total station and also collect relevant data.

2) Data Entry
Once collected all the data from the field, transfer the tracked network into the ArcGIS software, where we create shape files for
various elements of water supply system. Then we add all the relevant information to the respective element layer.
For example:
a) In pipe attribute table, we input diameter, material, length, etc.
b) In pump attribute table, we input head, flow, power, etc.
c) In ESR attribute table, we input GL, LSL, FSL, etc.
After creating the shape files, authenticates the network with the Municipal Council and then hydraulic modeling is done.

3) Data Checking
After receiving the authenticated shape files from hydraulic modeling, checking all the data with relevant information is done like
For example:
a) From Energy Audit report we check all the pumping details.
b) From scheme file, we check the transmission line and ESR details, etc.
c) From census population, we check the consumer survey data.
d) From contour plan, we check elevations.

B. Design of Continuous Water Supply System on Watergems

1) Distribution Network
To initiate the modelling of distribution network, the basic network consisting of pipes, junctions, valves, tank or ESR (elevated
storage reservoir), etc. Have to be drawn in Watergems. The required network can be drawn on the blank window with the provision
of specified scale to it. Also we can import image, CAD and GIS files for background as a reference for drawing of desired
distribution network with consideration of road network and elevation of ground terrain. We can also assign an, user defined length
for every pipe, if required i.e. If drawing is not drawn to the desired scale. Also we have to fill the basic properties of every
component in the drawing of water distribution network such as, junctions, valves, pipes, tanks, reservoir, pumps, etc. As water
distribution systems are generally so designed, that the energy consumption in pumping and other works should be minimum and
hence distribution system should supply continuous water in majority of the area through gravity (i.e. Without using pumps). The
elevations should be given to every component, as it has more importance as water is continuously supplied by distribution network.
In distribution network for continuous.

2) Computing Demands
For design of continuous water supply system, the population density of each zone should be accurately determined and designed
for considered life span of project. For particular distribution network, the population for each branch of pipe should be known to
give the sufficient design demand for end junction or node of every branch.
Design demand for each branch design population at that branch x rate of water supply (lpcd) Each branch of network is considered
separately for calculation of daily water demand, which would have to be given at the end node or end junction of that branch. There
are various methods of population forecasting such as arithmetical increase method, geometrical increase method, geographical
increase method, etc. And based on this population forecasting water requirement is calculated. In addition to it, some losses are
taken into account to find out gross water demand. Generally, the probable life span of water supply system is taken as 20 to 30
years.

3) Defining Demand Pattern

The modeling of distribution network for continuous water supply in Watergems should be done with ‘EPS (Extended Period
Simulation)’ instead of ‘steady state’ of time analysis type. For EPS analysis it is required to give specific pattern for given demands
with respect to hourly, daily or monthly variation in water demands. As the distribution network is designed for continuous water
supply system, the hourly varying demand pattern plays an important role in it. Watergems estimates the network with respect to
peak factor (maximum factor from hourly varying demand pattern).Also we can give patterns to pumps, valve settings and power
usage also.

4) Computation Of ESR
Capacity of ESR is mainly depends upon population and rate of water supply for a day. In continuous water supply, tank capacity is
designed for maximum multiplier given in hourly varying demand pattern i.e. Peak factor. Daily Demand =Population x rate of
water supply (lpcd) x Peak factor In addition to this there is losses in pumping and rising main also taken in consideration for total
daily demand. Capacity of ESR is depends upon daily demand and pumping system provided.

5) Analysis Of Network
For continuous water supply, distribution network is analyzed for EPS. The pumps are provided to fill the ESR with consideration
of ESR emptying time and the time at which ESR runs full. By analyzing network, the software gives results which includes
velocity of water in pipe, pressure at each junction, headless gradient of pipes, hydraulic grade of junctions, flow, etc. And much
more. The results, reports and graphs can be exported to MS Excel, MS Word, or CAD format effectively

6) Optimization
The software water gems has an extraordinary feature named as ‘Darwin Designer’, which gives optimum results to maximize
benefit or to minimize capital cost of the project. Darwin designer is a generic algorithm. It provides multi criteria optimization. The
criteria being performance and cost. The solutions provided by the software are ranked. This allows the user to choose the best
solution which suits to his requirements of pressure and availability of money. It optimizes the network, on the basis of pressure and
velocity constraints given. Darwin designer gives the optimum solution for network which may consist variety of diameter pipes.
Hence, from practical point of view, these diameters maybe efficiently arranged

V. RESULTS & DISCUSSION

Analysis Using Geo-informatics Technology and Water GEMS in Nighoj village” was carried out with the basic objective of
analysing present water distribution system and method to improve it.
The population for city was estimated using Arithmetic Increase method, Geometric Increase method and Incremental Increase
method. From that Incremental Increase method was used for next three decade estimation and for that population the water demand
was estimated. The present pipeline network was analyzed using Water GEMS software, so that the idea of continuous water
supply system can be implemented with proper pressure and without more head loss. The Google Earth image for city was
downloaded and elevation of nodes and length of pipes was recorded for nearly 285 nodes and equal number of pipes. And these
data was used in Water GEMS software for the analysis of pressure, head loss, etc. The Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) LISS-IV data
covering city was analysed for understanding the road transport network, study area and various infrastructure in the city. This study
indicated that the outcome result from Water GEMS software i.e.; pressure, head loss, etc. were checked with hydraulic equation
and found. Velocity and flow in the buildings are also improved, owing to the increment of the pipe diameter in the mains, and also
because of the continuity of the flow maintained. Following results shows the velocity in the Nighoj village after the dead ends are
being connected and also after the pipe diameter is being increased.

A. Analysis of Project
Following steps are carried out to analyse the existing water distribution network using WATERGEMS
Step 1: Selection of study area as discussed in Study area is selected to fulfill the objectives. By using GIS and surveying the field
with the help of Council Engineers and water supply staff, we track the entire water network starting from source to line before
consumer end with the help of total station and also collect relevant data.
Step 2: Collection of data For hydraulic analysis in the WATERGEMS software, all the required data input data was collected from
the grampanchayat Nighoj and tahsil office of Parner Taluka. Pipe data such as pipe diameter (mm), C-value, and length (m) are
assigned to the network. ESRs details such as capacity, elevation, demand, etc. Are assigned. input data for ESRs, the existing
network of water distribution network system of Rivet the description of pipes used in network.
Step 3: Construction of Model and its run Model is constructed using water gems software by giving all the necessary inputs as
mentioned in step no.2 the constructed network of the water distribution system in the junction table pressure, demand, and
hydraulic grade at the different junction.
Step4: Suggestion Additional storage will be required. Due to infrastructure development. A designed network that fulfils future
demands.

Further the nodes, from the main tank, lesser are the pressure. Also when there is more number of branches from the main pipeline,
the pressure and other flow parameters get reduced. For building structures such as LT 2 and 3, Class IV staff quarter, and NK have
lower pressure of 22.98m with velocity ranging from 0-0.03 m/s, as these buildings are far away from the overhead tank. The cause
of pressure drop is also noticed to happen due to reduction of pipe diameters, which gets reduced from 65mm mains to 40mm and
below in service lines inside the buildings and also because of lots of connections inside the building for which the pressure gets
distributed. The negative sign in the flow values are shown in some of the pipes indicating the reverse direction of flow with respect
to the ID numbering of the nodes. New pipe line network of selected area, nodes, junctions, tank, pump etc.

VI. CONCLUSION
Now days, the concept of continuous water supply has generated significant interest in India due to its number of advantages over
intermittent system of water supply. Presently there are number of continuous water supply systems designed and developed by
using water gems software effectively. In Maharashtra state Malapert continuous water supply scheme effectively implemented
which is designed in water gems. Design of continuous water supply system by using water gems becomes much more
advantageous than manual process, as it minimizes the required time and gives accurate results within short period. Also it
optimizes the distribution network on the basis of performance and cost. This study indicated that the outcome result from Water
GEMS software i.e.; pressure, head loss, etc. were checked with hydraulic equation and found. Velocity and flow in the buildings
are also improved, owing to the increment of the pipe diameter in the mains, and also because of the continuity of the flow
maintained. The results show that the velocity in the Nighoj village after the dead ends are being connected and also after the pipe
diameter is being increased. Further the nodes, from the main tank, lesser are the pressure. Also when there is more number of
branches from the main pipeline, the pressure and other flow parameters get reduced. For building structures such as LT 2 and 3,
Class IV staff quarter, and NK have lower pressure of 22.98m with velocity ranging from 0-0.03 m/s, as these buildings are far
away from the overhead tank. The cause of pressure drop is also noticed to happen due to reduction of pipe diameters, which gets
reduced from 65mm mains to 40mm and below in service lines inside the buildings and also because of lots of connections inside
the building for which the pressure gets distributed. The negative sign in the flow values are shown in some of the pipes indicating
the reverse direction of flow with respect to the ID numbering of the nodes. New pipe line network of selected area, nodes,
junctions, tank, pump.
