Module Name: WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Module Code: CWE4161

Number of Credits : 10

Dear students,

Welcome to the module of Water Supply and Distribution System. The aim of this module is to give students of civil engineering  basic tools to understand the design of water supply and distribution system

Brief description of the module

The module provides an introduction to water supply and distribution systems, its requirement and distribution scheme. It gives also a good understanding of water demand estimation, design of water supply including storage capacity and appurtenances of water supply network. 

Module learning outcomes

At the end of this module, you will be able to:

1.       Determine the requirements of water supply  for a given community;

2.       Be familiar with the components of water supply systems from source to the consumers;

3.       Design water supply  and distribution systems;

4.       Understand water supply plumbing in building and houses
