Abstract

The purpose of the work was to analyze the exploitation of the collective water supply system (CWSS), on the example of Czudec, Podkarpackie CWSS. The water balance was prepared. The system operation was simulated using the Epanet software. The obtained data was presented in graphical form of pressure distribution on the network during the minimum and maximum demand. Water age simulations were also prepared, that is, the period of water residence in water distribution subsystem.

Highlights

  • Collective water supply systems (CWSS) existed already in antiquity, but in the 20th century that were introduced on a mass scale, which increased the hygiene of society's life

  • A significant increase in the length of the water supply network was observed at the end of the 20th century and in the 21st century, in particular in rural areas

  • The percentage of urban and rural water supply has risen from 84.8% in 2002 to 91.6% in 2014, while 84% used it in rural areas in 2014, and 96% in urban areas

Summary

Introduction

Collective water supply systems (CWSS) existed already in antiquity, but in the 20th century that were introduced on a mass scale, which increased the hygiene of society's life. In 1989, the length of the water supply network in Poland was 88.3 thousand km, while in 2014 it increased to 292.5 thousand km. The result of building new networks is increase people number who can use tap water. Acceleration of investments related to the build of water distribution subsystem (WDS) is related to the possibility of obtaining European funds by water companies and municipalities [4,5,6,8,9]. The highest water consumption took place in the second half of the 20th century. This was caused by low price of water. The aim of the paper is analysis of the WDS Czudec commune operation
