Hydraulic and Water Quality Modeling of the Drinking Water Supply Network: Fnideq City (Morocco) as a Case

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to contribute to the modeling of the drinking water supply network of the Fnideq City urban grouping, to meet the growing needs of the population and to secure the drinking water supply in terms of quantity and quality. The methodology followed based on the use of hydraulic modeling tools (EPANET). Thus, we have succeeded in validating and obtaining the hydraulic and water quality model that is faithful to the reality of the field. In terms of results, the tools used are relevant and have enabled us to obtain satisfactory results after comparing the measurements observed in the field with the model's reactions. As for the results of the studied parameters (Pressure, Flow, and Chlorine), we underline the conformity of the chlorine model to the required standards and the rules of the trade.
