Abstract:

Water quality is the most important parameter of the portable water. Therefore, water quality simulation is of utmost importance, along with carrying out the hydraulic analysis of a water distribution network. In the current study it has been attempted to carry out the water quality simulation of the proposed distribution network for the University of Kashmir using EPANET 2.0 software. The study also aims at obtaining the optimal performance of the designed network in terms of water quality parameters. Furthermore, the leakage modelling for the network has been carried out using the EPANET extension- WaterNetGen. It was found that the important water quality parameters like Residual chlorine at nodes and Water Age were within the standard ranges throughout the simulation period. Also, the percentage of the leakage discharge at the nodes was very insignificant.
