Abstract
In infrastructural development the public drinking water distribution network which includes pipes, bents, valves, pumps, tanks etc. is one of the major investments. The design, modeling of distribution network with efficient outcome is an important task. Therefore, the present study is aimed at design of continuous as well as intermittent water distribution systems with adequate water pressure with the use of WaterGEMS Vi8 software. The study is carried out for Manisha Nagar and Padmavati in Pandharpur, Maharashtra. The system comprised of a pipeline network consisting of one source node and several demand nodes is considered to find its optimal geometrical layout which delivers known demands from source to consumers over a long period of time. The effect of forecasted resident population and floating population on demand, head loss gradient, pressure gradient is analyzed. This study is carried out for immediate stage - Year 2021, intermediate stage - Year 2036 and final stage - Year 2051. From the analysis it is observed that, as population increases from year 2021 to 2051, the demand, head loss gradient and pressure development increases.

No rule or equation may represent the value of water to survive in human, plant and animal forms
The present study aims to design continuous water supply, modeling of network system by using WaterGEMS software for Elevated Storage Reservoirs (ESRs) located at Manisha Nagar and Padmavati in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, India
All junctions from both Elevated Storage Reservoirs (ESRs) located at Manisha Nagar and Padmavati in Pandharpur are having pressure greater than or equal to 12 m
Summary
No rule or equation may represent the value of water to survive in human, plant and animal forms. Human beings tend to live in communities close to natural water sources the river or small water channel to satisfy the need for survival water. Apart from using the water for domestic needs, since man occupied this earth, water resources were the most widely exploited natural system. Does the use of water escalate exponentially with population growth, but there is an acute shortage of surface and deep water due to many manmade practices, and man himself has been the root cause of many issues and proper management water use, which having vital importance in this era (Punmia et al, 1995)
