Leakage Detection through HL in Gurthali Water Supply Distribution Network using EPANET

Abstract

Water distribution network (WDN) design of hydraulic model Gurthali, NARWANA-JIND, HARYANA and objective of this paper to detecting the leakage in it.In current research work to find out the Hl through normal valve and leak valve control setting with randomly value.To detect the Head Loss to usedDarcy Weisbach methodwhich calculate the major and minor loss with friction in pipes links. EPANET tool is used to create enlarge hydraulic model and simulate the data. All the pipes to be analysis unit head loss and nodes analysis head loss foe every houses. For leak detection, four normal valve include to compute head loss or pressure drop on nodes, pipes and leak detection valves. Also find out the pressure and head loss on the all nodes and pipes.MS Excel used for leak detection data, at the various head loss values in valves, nodes, pipes links. Plot the various graphs with head loss on valves which generated that HL reduces drastically.
