Developing Hydraulic Model of Water Distribution Network in Rafidia Area, NablusbyAbeer Melhim Noor SalehSupervisorDr.Mohmmad Almasri
Objectives of the project • To estimate the per capita water consumption of zone w0 of Rafedia. • . To hydraulically analyze the WDN of Rafedia W0 zone using EPANET. • . To propose design of the new WDN.
Study area • Location: • Study area is Rafidia zone W0, which is located in Nablus. • Topography: • Height ranges between from 440m and 510m.
Study area • Population of Nablus 126,000 persons. • Population of Rafidia 7,000 persons. • Population of W0 is 3,500 persons.
Water Resources • Wells
Water Resources • Springs
Water consumption • Water consumption per month in 2009.
Water consumption • Average consumption per month=12218m3average consumption per capita per month= 3.5m3average consumption per capita per day=.11m3 .
Steps for construction the hydraulic model • 1. Discretization • 2. Demand assignment • 3. Head loss expression and it’s coefficient.
Demand and elevationassignment • Sources of UFW • demand calculation • Assign the demand and elevation at each node
Conclusions • Use of Water meters was very effective • EPANET is good in hydraulic simulation • GIS is effective in spatially joining • AUTOCAD is effective in making accurate connection
