Project Description
There are three small projects. These
problems are open-ended by design so you
may need to make several assumptions or
develop your own approach to complete the
task.

Project 1: Determine the design flow for the transmission pipes RA, AB and BC shown on the figure below.
Also determine the storage volume required at the storage Reservoir.
Design Data:
1. Pump P1 is 3 m below the reservoir water level.
2. Water demand 500 L/c/d
3. Pipe roughness height = 1mm
4. Maximum day factor = 1.8
5. Maximum hour factor = 3.25

Project 2: Water supply system design
Figure 2.0 represents a simplified pipe network of a small newly planned city with current population P (See P
value in Table 1.0). The pipe network is going to be built by using at least two kinds of pipe materials available
in the current market. Flows for the area have been disaggregated to the nodes and percentage of population
to be served has been added at the node as marked on Figure 2.0.

Use program EPANET (http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet.html#downloads ) to design the
network. Velocities in the pipes should be between 0.3 m/s to 1.2 m/s. Pressures at any node cannot drop
below 40 m above the ground level. Use a typical hourly demand pattern from the standard or the textbook
with reference. If the system is not sufficient to be fed by gravity install pumps after one or more reservoirs.
Select pump head characteristic curve from the market.
Present a short report from your simulations stating the proposed pipe diameters, pressure and velocities,
pump types and operation hours. In the report include output table modified with significant numbers only.
The report should include a diagram showing initial assigned flow (and direction) through each pipe before
simulation. The loops should be clearly marked.
Note: before using program EPANET read the basic information about EPANET provided in the link EPANET
Users Manual (PDF). In preparation of your program follow carefully the instructions.ENEC14017 Water Engineering Project 1

Project 3: Wastewater system design
Design the sanitary sewer system for a rapidly growing city apartment district shown below. The length of the
sewer segments, the tributary area of each, and the ground-level elevations are shown. The present population
density is 2100/ha. The life span of the sewer system is estimated to be 50 years. Maximum rate of sewage
flow (including infiltration) is 500 L/person per day. Required cleansing velocity is 0.6 m/s. Assume minimum
pipe diameter of 150 mm and round design pipe diameters to the nearest 5 mm. Assume minimum cover is
1.5 m above the top of the pipes. Assume suitable pipe material. Draw the sketch of sewer arrangement along
manholes. The crown levels of severs at the manholes should match. Check velocities in pipes after the final
design. Write a short report, clearly stating your input data, calculation example and the final results.
