A Review Article on Analysis and Design of Water Distribution Network for Jabalpur antonment Board Area

Abstract

The provision of a reliable and efficient water distribution system is fundamental for ensuring adequate water supply to urban areas. This review article aims to analyze and evaluate the design aspects, hydraulic performance, and challenges related to the water distribution network in the Jabalpur Cantonment Board Area. The study comprehensively examines the current state of the water distribution system, evaluates its operational efficiency, and proposes recommendations for enhancing its performance and sustainability.The review commences by providing an overview of the Jabalpur Cantonment Board Area, highlighting the demographic, geographic, and infrastructural aspects relevant to the water distribution network. It delves into the existing system layout, network configuration, pumping stations, reservoirs, pipe materials, and other infrastructure components contributing to the distribution of potable water to the residents.Furthermore, the review article conducts a detailed analysis of hydraulic modeling techniques and software applications utilized in assessing the performance and optimization of the water distribution network. It scrutinizes factors influencing network efficiency, including water demand patterns, pressure management, leakage detection, and water loss reduction strategies.Through a critical evaluation of the existing challenges faced by the water distribution network in Jabalpur Cantonment, the review identifies issues such as aging infrastructure, inadequate maintenance, uneven distribution, non-revenue water, and insufficient pressure management.
