Evaluation of Hydraulic Performance of Water Distribution System for Sustainable Management

Understanding hydraulic performance of water distribution system is crucial for sustainable management a supply system. In this paper, case study was evaluated using WaterGEMS model integrated with GIS at Tulu Bolo town. The calibrated (R2=0.93) measured data 10 randomly selected nodes. Results the analysis show that 92.6% nodes reached optimized pressure ranging between 15m to 70m and about 1.27% are under permissible while remaining have above pressure. velocity in pipes were found be within standard range from 0.2 2m/s which covers 82.7% (162 out 196 pipes). Hence, implementation WaterGEMs approach enabled estimate better accuracy will helpful
