Water Supply System Lecture by:- Eyoab Equbay (Architect)
Water S upply System Water supply system constitutes of a gravity/pumping based transmission & distribution system from Local/distant water treatment system. SOURCE TREATMENT STORAGE DISTRIBUTION
SOURCES :-open well, tube well , dam site ,external pipe supply , rain water ,Harvesting system TREATMENT :-Chlorination , Sedimentation , Sand Filter. STORAGE :-Elevated surface reservoirs, Ground service reservoir. DISTRIBUTION :-Main line , sub main line ,branch pipe line , household level , tape .
Open well :-Ground water is available at low depth less than 15 meter. Hand pump :-safe ground water is available up to 60m. Bore well :-tube well,ground water is at greater depth & open well or hand pumps are not viable.
Classification of water based on its Availability. A. Local Source :- which are available at village /town level , river , pond , open well & bore well. B. Distant Source :- Reliable & Safe is not available pipe line from distant sources can be laid. Available from river , pond , dam.
Water Treatment Treated at village level & even at household level further treatment may not be required at village level. Processes of treatment based on the source & quality of water in specific region.

Elevated Surface Reservoir (ESR) or elevated storage tank: ESR is constructed , where water is to be supplied at elevated height (less than the level of ESR) or where the distance is large and topography is undulating. Generally, ESR is at height more than 15 m. Water can be distributed directly from this storage tank by gravity or pump .
The primary function of water towers is to pressurize water for distribution. Elevating the water high above the pipes that distribute it throughout the surrounding building or community ensures that hydrostatic pressure, driven by gravity, forces the water down and through the system. Ground Service Reservoir (GSR): GSR is ground level or plinth level storage tank. The plinth level is generally not more than 3 m. Fig 1. GSR & ESR
Sump : Sump is used as additional storage at village/town level or cluster level. It is not used for direct distribution of water. Rather. The underground storage tank in circular shape with dome line covering is called sump. Generally, the capacity of sump is more (one and half to two times) than ESR or GSR or two to five days water requirement, so that if the supply is disturbed for that time, the water is available for the people.

BUILDING WATER SUPPLY
System Selection 1.Demand (pressure and flow ) 2.Type of building occupancy 3.Aesthetics 4.Economy 5.Use 6.Maintainability 7.Flexibility to failure
Types of System Direct connection from the main to all fixtures Direct connection to overhead tank and then to all fixtures Pumped system - Direct pumping to fixtures (fire fighting) Combined (pump & over head tank) system - Pumping from ground/underground/ storage to overhead tank, then to all fixtures
