Water Supply Distribution System Design in Ethiopia

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Miscellaneous, grade: A+, , course: thesis for undergraduate, language: English, abstract: This report targets on the design of water supply system for warder town. The objective of this project is to provide adequate, good quality, safe and sustainable water for warder town based on primarily source of water (ground water). The general information of the area, including its location, climate condition, and other important additional information's are described in the first chapter, i.e. the introduction. This chapter also includes General and specific objectives of the project as well as the methodology; by which the project is undertaken the demand analysis part has taken through which per capita per head as well as the total population. Societal demands are analysed and this based on the ultimate design horizon demand, potential alternative sources of water are identified and the corresponding facilities that enable to utilize the respective source will be designed in order to obtain the most feasible option.

The report gives also emphasis for the design of the pumps as the central and key part of the design procedure. In connection to this the reservoir capacity and the design procedure of the reservoir. The last to come is the Environmental and social impact assessment session which will be briefly at the end of the report. Water supply is among the most essential natural requisites for sustenance of living things. As States without water, life on earth could be impossible. No living thing such plant, Animal or human live without this precious liquid. Water is essential not only for survival but also contributes immeasurably to the quality of our lives.

Provision of adequate water supply and sanitation services for the Urban and Rural population is a major concern regarding the development and enhancement of reasonable conditions of social Welfare. Therefore, the provision of safe, clean, sufficient and potable water and disposal of garbage and undesirable material has become an important factor to live with. This is the main responsibilities of the water Engineers Especially water resource and irrigation Engineers to design, construct, operate and maintain the water supply. Ethiopia is very well known for its enormous potential all of which is generated in its own tertiary and it is still known the water tower of Africa. However, most of the Ethiopian towns have a problem of adequate and potable supply of water. In pursuance to the above goal, Warder Town Water Supply Project is formulated.
