Abstract – Water is very important to our life. Demand of
water is always increasing with growing population. This
increasing demand can be fulfilled by designing proper water
distribution network based on hydraulic modelling software.
In present study water distributionnetworkofKaradregionof
Mhasoli is designed which is located at district Satara, State
Maharashtra, India. For the design of Mhasoli village water
distribution network, study of present population, population
of the three decades, daily water demand, flow characteristics
and also survey of the village is done with help of digital GPS.
Water distribution networkforMhasolivillage isanalyzed and
designed with the help of Bentley water-gems software. It is
observed if water efficiently supply at every point with
required pressure and discharge then it helps to control
problems occurring against water consumption.
Key Words: Water, population, water-gems, Siphon,
Hydraulic.
1. INTRODUCTION
Water is most important element on earth there is no
alternate of water. On earth 70% water is not used for
various purpose like bathing, washing etc.only30%water is
used for our purpose, so proper water supply is necessary.
To fulfil the water demand of growing population, proper
pipe networking is necessary.
We know that today’sseveral computer-basedsoftware’s are
used for the networking of water distribution system.Inthis
project we use water-gems software for design a network
and provide sufficient and uniform quantity of water.
In this distribution system two methods are used for
supplying water by using siphon and solar system.
Fig -1: Network modelling through water-gems.
1.1 by using siphon:
Siphon is a long-bent pipe which is used to transfer liquid
from a reservoir at a higher elevation to another reservoir at
a lower level when the two reservoirs are separated by a hill
or high-level ground as shown in fig.2.
Fig -2: Typical siphon concept.
Siphon is used in the following cases:
1. To carry water from one reservoir to another
reservoir to another reservoir separated by a hill or
ridge.
2. To take out the liquid from a tank which is not
having any outlet.

3. To empty a channel not provided with any outlet
sluice.
In this research uses siphon for the case 1. Provided
water with different demands and according to the
population of Mhasoli village.

2. DESIGN OF RISING MAIN:
2.1 Design of Siphon:
L=400m,
ZA=677m,
ZB=673m,
ZA to summit distance, l=253m,
Height at summit =15m
D=400mm
F=0.005;
According to Bernoulis’s equation,
Where,
L= Length of Siphon,
D= Diameter of Siphon,
F= Friction Factor,
Now,
10.33+ 4+0=10.33+0+0+hf

3. CONCLUSIONS
Water hydraulic software is an extremely powerful
adopted to serve the intended purpose of this project work.
The work has been designed as per guidelines and
references of Indian government, by the use of water
hydraulic software, the time is less required for analysing
and design of networking.
The conclusion drawn based onthe resultsobtained
are presented further:
 Hydraulic programming estimatesthevelocity,headloss,
diameter of pipes, discharge and the main network.
 According to 50 years of population forecasting the
average population is 2431, and the required total
demand is 3,28,185 Litre.

 Table 6.1 represents the summary of siphon, it is found
that with the decreasing in the diameter of pipe
discharge also decreases, so forthesuitabledischargewe
provide 200mm diameter for designing of siphon.
 Table 6.2 represents summary of solar,itisfoundthatfor
5Hp power it required 5no.s of 200watt panels.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to
our project guide and Head of Department Asst. Prof.
Hipparkar D. P. for giving us the opportunity to work on this
topic it would never be possible for us to complete this
project without their precious guidance and their relevance
support and encouragement. His interest in my work and
appreciate of our efforts provide me with the constant
motivation needed to achieve goal. We are also thankful to
all faculty members and classmates for the support and
motivation during this work.
