Designing of Piped Water Supply Scheme with Functional Household Tap Connection

Civil Engineering

The most basic necessity of human life is water and we know one can’t survive without water but the main question arises how we can get a clean drinking water directly to our homes. Still in India there’s a big population who don’t have access to clean drinking water, so our government initiated many projects under which we can get clean drinking water through functional household water tap connections. So, my project is totally depending on the designing of water supply pipelines and providing functional household tap connections. The water sector is the next big infrastructure revolution in India, so we are working with the aim of providing clean drinking water through household tap connection. In this study I have given a detailed discussion on designing of pipelines and tap connections through which water can be accessible to each and every household 24x7. It includes selection of source (River, Borewell etc.), Estimation of Population from 2011 census, Survey of Village includes type of road, type of soil, road elevations, no. of handpumps, area for the construction of overhead tanks, operation and maintenance strategy and economic feasibility and then finally software based hydraulic design of pipelines for the project. Water found one of the important physical environments of human and has a direct behaviour on the health and hygiene of mankind. There is no denying the fact that the contamination of water leads to numerous health hazards. The facility of safe and adequate drinking water to the growing urban population continues to be one of the major challenging tasks for any state. The present water supply practice is non-confirming to designed hydraulic parameters, and also the system is severely affected insufficient hydraulics, leading to many of the current critical issues which keep the local authorities in an evitable brutal circle. Using data from the local government body, the papers present the condition of intermittent water supply network and compare it with continuous water supply system. There are two types of schemes i.e., Multi Village water supply scheme and single village water supply scheme. In Multi village water supply scheme, a group of villages involved in a single scheme for which the selected source is river and then intake well, water treatment plant, high capacity overhead tanks is proposed to fulfil the requirement of water because of its high population whereas single village water supply scheme includes only one village and the selected source is borewell because it can fulfil the requirement of water as it has lesser population as compare to multi village water supply scheme. In this study I will give detail discussion on how to design single village water supply scheme through all the reliable date and proper result and conclusion.
