Abstract: The invention concerns a cost-effective and efficient design of a water distribution network using hydraulic modelling. The invention uses data inputs such as population, water demand, topography and network layout to produce a computer model of the water distribution system. A simulation of the network is performed to assess important hydraulic parameters such as pressure, flow velocity, head and head loss to ensure that network elements do not exceed engineering requirements. The network is composed of components, including junctions, pipes, reservoirs, tanks, and pumps, to simulate the system accurately and to evaluate its performance. The invention further uses optimisation algorithms to determine appropriate pipe sizes, pump capacities and layout to reduce water losses and to achieve equitable distribution. Finally, a comparative analysis of different methods of estimating head loss is done to determine the most suitable method for head loss analysis. The invention also incorporates a cost analysis component to calculate installation and operating costs, allowing for a sustainable and cost-effective design. The water system can be effectively deployed in rural and semi-urban areas requiring water management. It offers a robust and scalable approach to enhance water supply systems, minimise energy losses and optimise service delivery. In summary, the invention enhances sustainable water resource management and facilitates socio- economic progress by providing equitable access to safe and sufficient water.
