An – Najah National University Design of The Water Distribution Network of Qaryut Village Prepared By: Mohammad Sate' MosaMosa Supervisor: Dr. Mohammad N. Almasri 2010
1.1 Water distribution networks (WDN): • Water supply systems are the lifeline of urban and rural communities. But this system is not easy or cheap to be earn, such a system is costly, and the most costly element in this system is the water distribution network. • A water distribution network (WDN) is comprised of a number of links (mainly pipes) connected together to form loops and/or branches.
1.1 Water distribution networks (WDN): • The WDNs should be capable of: • Meeting the demands • Satisfactory the pressure head • The WDNs may be classified as: • Grid(looped) systems • Branching systems • Combination of the two
1.2 Design of WDNs: • The design of WDNs involves the following: • Determination of pipe diameters • Determination of pump specifications • Determination of reservoir sizeand location • Selection of pipe material
2.1 The Objective of the Project: • The main objective of this project is to design the water • distribution network of Qaryut with the aid of EPANET.
3.1 Geography and Topography: • Qaryut is located 42 km to north of Jerusalem and 26 km to the south of Nablus. • Administratively, Qaryut is belongs to Nablus governorate it is located at the top of mountain which is elevated 750 m above mean sea level. The area of Qaryut is about 7491 dunnoms. • Topographically, the village is a mountainous area reaching heights of between Nablus and Ramallah
3.2 The Meaning of Qaryut: • Qaryut is an old Canaanite name, where Qaryut called by that name because it is surrounded by several villages. This name includes two parts: • (QAR): which means villages, the second part, • (YUT): meaning center. • So the meaning of Qaryut is the center of villages.
3.5 Water Resources: • Qaryut has two springs: • 1. Qaryut spring
3.5 Water Resources: • 2. Salon spring
3.5 Water Resources: • 3. Mekorot : • Citizens in Qaryut, get their requirements of water from a filling point provided by Mekorot. Where the water transfer to citizens by tractors
5 Questionnaire
5.1 Background: • The questionnaire is the first step to start this project, it give the opportunity to know some important information that affect the water demand. • The questionnaire covers 50 families. It focused on the issues that affect per capita water consumption, to know the percentage of each factor.
6 Design Approach
6.1 Water Supply System For the Southern Villages of Nablus:
6.3 Data Input: • Growth rate (r) = 2.36% • Density of the population = = • Design Period = 25 years • water consumption per capita day = 125 L /C day • Losses: 14% • Total consumption = population * (L / c –day)
6.3 Data Input: • Max daily demand = 1.8 • hLf = 162.5*( )1.852*D-4.87*L • For the pipes I choose it UPVC with (H-WC)=125 • transition link from Qusra reservoir to Talfit and Qaryut has a diameter 6 inch, then branch to 4 inch diameter so I choose the diameter gradually to the end
7 Results
8 Conclusions
8.1 Pipes required to WDN of Qaryut: • The WDN includes 132 pipes. I summarize the pipes required in below table • The total cost of the pipes = 323,695 JOD
8.2 Pump required to WDN of Qaryut: • A pump should be used in order to guarantee that the water can reach all the residents of the village at sufficient pressure (>=20m) • I choose a pump with inflow (30m3/hr), and give a head (34.1 m) to give at least 20m pressure head at nodes to reach all citizens. • The capital cost of this pump is (5350 JOD).
9 Recommendations
9.1 Recommendations: • Since Qaryut village is without a WDN, it is highly recommended to quickly construct the WDN for the village. • Springs rehabilitation in order to reduce spring losses and to prevent pollution. This enables the village to take advantage of these resources. • Public awarenesscampaigns should be carried out to encourage the residents of Qaryut to practice water conservation.
