CIVE 4307 Individual Project

You company has designed a small water distribution network for a new town to house workers near Ottawa. The source water includes a fresh water lake approximately 4 km long, 1 km wide, and has an average depth of 10 m. The water balance of the lake is naturally zero when the average net precipitation is 0.5 mm a day. Ministry of the Environmental officials mandate that the lake level cannot be reduced below 9.9 m average depth. A pump is used to take water from the source to the network. In addition, an elevated water tank is used to help providing water to the system.

Your company has used EPANET and built a model (posted on cuLearn) for the water distribution network. You are tasked to check:

 The performance of the distribution system (e.g. pressure at nodes, velocity of pipes).

 The analysis of pump and tank and how they work together to meet the daily demand.

 The water level change in the lake. Use annual average precipitation for Ottawa in your analysis. Please submit an electronic copy.
