Abstract

Population dynamics have very important effects on ecosystems, including those related to water availability. The availability of clean water is closely related to the condition of the population in an area. Every human being must drink 8 (eight) glasses of water per day. Plants and animals also need water. So it can be said that water is one source of life. Regional Water Supply Company (PDAM) is a company whose ownership is held by the regional head as the operator of drinking water supply for the community. Companies are encouraged to utilize developing technology to manage their drinking water assets effectively and efficiently so they can improve services to the community. EPANET 2.0 is one tool that is suitable for connecting piping network models. Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) is a model simulating hydraulics which parameters can be launched through a processing stage. The master network system model created in QGIS was included in EPANET 2.0 for rasterization. Then enter the required data such as pipe length, height of each node, water flow per tapping, pipe roughness coefficient, and peak hour factor. The results of the analysis in the form of pipe hydraulics, such as pipe speed and pressure from each node are used as a basis for network development plans. The ratio of the total population per family in Sumber District in 2018 is 6 people/head of the family. The population in the administrative area served by PDAM is 22,560 people. Domestic water needs can be calculated based on data on average water usage per month recorded at PDAM Tirta Jati, Cirebon Regency. The number of domestic customers was 2,446 in August 2019 with an average monthly water consumption of 15.02 m3/unit. Based on analysis using Epanet and QGIS, parameter data for pipe flow rates are 0.63 - 1.05 meters/second. While the result for water pressure in the pipe is 140.95 meters at node 274.
