Introduction
To meet the ever-increasing water demand of the world's population, experts must
provide the necessary and uniform amount of water via a well-designed network of pipes
known as water supply. Infrastructure for collecting, transmitting, handling, processing, and
distributing water to households, commercial businesses, agriculture, and irrigation, as well
as public needs such as firefighting and street flushing. Water supply schemes must also meet
government, commercial, and industrial requirements.
According to Hickey (2008), A well-designed water distribution system is able to
convey sufficient amount of water required for 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. The
function of a water distribution system is to deliver water to all customers of the system in
sufficient quantity for potable drinking water and fire protection purposes, at the appropriate
pressure, with minimal loss, of safe and acceptable quality, and as economically as possible.
However, in many cases the water source limits this condition to happen. In this situation, the
ground water source’s safe yield takes place. According to Tan (2011), the safe yield of the
groundwater reservoir is the maximum safe extraction from the groundwater without
unnecessary effects.
EPANET is a software application used throughout the world to
model water distribution systems. It was developed as a tool for understanding the movement
and fate of drinking water constituents within distribution systems, and can be used for many
different types of applications in distribution systems analysis.
The residents of Sitio Moloypoloy of Barangay Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City
Misamis Oriental was in need of water distribution to deliver water to consumers with
appropriate quantity which allows the free flow of water. Currently the residents would have
Liceo de Cagayan University College of Engineering Page 2
to travel to another Sitio which is approximately 1 mile from the location to procure
necessary amount of water for their daily need. They would do this on a daily basis early in
the morning and not just on one instance. The study will design a water distribution and
drainage system to meet the needs of people in the Sitio of Barangay Indahag. The purpose
of this research is to analyze and design a water distribution system using EPANET software
that would cater the daily need of water for the community.

With EPANET, users can perform extended-period simulation of the hydraulic and water
quality behavior within pressurized pipe networks, which consist of pipes, nodes (junctions),

pumps, valves, storage tanks, and reservoirs. It can be used to track the flow of water in each
pipe, the pressure at each node, the height of the water in each tank, a chemical
concentration, the age of the water, and source tracing throughout the network during a
simulation period. EPANET's user interface provides a visual network editor that simplifies
the process of building pipe network models and editing their properties and data. Various
data reporting and visualization tools are used to assist in interpreting the results of a network
analysis, including color-coded network maps, data tables, energy usage, reaction,
calibration, time series graphs, and profile and contour plots. (Environmental Protection
Agency,2020).
This study aims to provide improvement of the water supply for the households of the
sitio. Furthermore, the estimated safe yield of the water supply and the estimated total cost of
expanding the water distribution system were determined through this analysis. This would
ensure that the citizens of the Barangay have a regular supply of water in their homes on a
daily basis. The results of this study serve as a foundation for developing a water distribution
system. This proposed water distribution system will benefit the residents of Sitio of
barangay Indahag, Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental in their day to day life activities.

the most elevation, to every other purpose of the system. Such systems are commonly
conceivable in hilly landscape where the spring of water is a characteristic water course,
which can be tapped by developing an intake chamber. Regularly relying on the geography
and accessibility of land, the water treatment plant and a reservoir are 9 additionally built at
source point to guarantee water quality and amount. The gravity flow water distribution
systems have single or multiple input sources with branched or potentially looped system
configuration relying on the nearby conditions, geography, accessibility of sources and the
water necessities.
EPANET Simulation
Liceo de Cagayan University College of Engineering Page 10
EPANET is a computer program that simulates hydraulic and water quality behavior
over an extended period of time within pressurized pipe networks. EPANET tracks the water
flow in each pipe, the pressure at each node, the water height in each tank, and the
concentration of a chemical species throughout the network over a simulation period
consisting of multiple time steps. Water distribution system hydraulic assessment and
simulation are previous steps to be achieved before simulating water quality (Sathyanathan et
al., 2016). There are many case studies using EPANET as an instrument in the design and
planning of a scheme for water distribution. For example, the study conducted by
(Sathyanathan et. al 2016), in SRM University, Kattankulathur, Chennai, India used
EPANET software for controlling the water variability supplied to customers. The research
also seeks to design the entire campus using EPANET for a 24/7 water distribution system.
12 During the simulation, changes were noted at different nodes at each hour in chosen
parameters such as flow, velocity, head and water pressure. The SRM campus water
distribution network comprises of 29 standardized material pipes, 32 intersections, 5 pumps
and 1 source reservoir from which water is pumped and subsequently circulated throughout
the network. The pipes used in the 250 mm uniform diameter network system. Throughout
the network scheme, cast iron tubes with 85 roughness coefficients are used.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter explains how the study was carried out. It represents the various
procedures and strategies for identifying the necessary data and information for the analysis
and evaluation of the proposed design of the water distribution system for the Sitio of
barangay Indahag, Cagayan de Oro, Misamis Oriental. It comprises the research design,
project location and research process.
Research Setting
The study will take part on the Sitio of Barangay Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City,
Misamis Oriental. The area in the barangay is one of the target locations of a provincial road
in the near future. The land zoning in the area is classified as residential and ideal for
residential settlement. The researchers aim to design a water distribution system in the Sitio
for the comfort ability of the residents. Hence thereof, water has been one of the most
important element in this study.
Liceo de Cagayan University College of Engineering Page 12
Research Design
This study will be made by using a quantitative research approach. The quantitative
type of method involves a scientific and mathematical data to understand the problem. The
quantitative research method is a technique which are used to solve and collect quantitative
data values or any information relating to numbers and anything that is measurable. This type
of research design is well suited for this research as data and information requires scientific
approach and mathematical techniques to ensure accuracy and satisfaction of results.
Research Process
This phase will include data gathering such as geographical survey for elevations and
distance. Data gathering includes the simulation of EPANET and QGIS software, report of
findings and its application. The researchers will gather data regarding the number of
households and estimate water consumptions based on the demand parameters standards.
Surveys of the layouts and maps of the area will also be conducted to properly design the
water system.
Design Life
This study takes a 10-year design life into account. The American Water Works
Association (AWWA, 1992) recommends that water conveyance frameworks be completely
re-evaluated every 5 or 10 years as a base minimum for requirements that would be set on by
advancement reproduction over a 20-year time span into the future.
Liceo de Cagayan University College of Engineering Page 13
According to RWS Volume 1 Design Manual, the advantage of the ten-year design
period is the water system facilities are capable of meeting the demand over a longer period.
No major investment cost is expected during the 10- year design period and disadvantage is
higher initial capital cost will require initial tariffs to be set higher.
Projected Population
The number of populations will be derived based on the number of households from
the researcher of the Sitio. Based on the Economical Social Data Booklet of United Nation
the average number of persons per household is 4.7 or say 5 persons per household.
According to the United Nations Economical Social Data Booklet, the average number of
people per household is 4.7, or 5 people per household.
Number of households = 36
Household Number of persons per household = 5 person

Research Instruments
EPANET is a widely used program for modeling the hydraulic and water quality behavior of
drinking water distribution systems. Its water quality component is limited to tracking the
transport and fate of just a single chemical species, such as fluoride used in a tracer study or
free chlorine used in a disinfectant decay study. This manual describes an extension to the
original EPANET that allows it to model any system of multiple, interacting chemical
species. This capability has been incorporated into both a stand-alone executable program as
well as a toolkit library of functions that programmers can use to build custom applications.
This set of software tools is referred to as EPANET-MSX, where MSX stands for Multi-
Species Extension (Rossman, 2000). Nodal outflows in a pressure deficient water distribution
network depend on available nodal heads. Thus, node-head flow relationship exists at each
node which are solved along with other appropriate equations for simulation. While using
EPANET for such simulation, source code needs to be modified to obtain direct solution. The
other way is to use EPANET iteratively wherein node head-flow relationships are satisfied
externally. Herein, a simple non-iterative method is suggested in which artificial string of
Check Valve, Flow Control Valve, and Emitter are added in series at each demand node to
model pressure deficient water distribution network (Sayyed, 2014).

(Water Source Safe Yield
Safe yield is the safe amount of water that can be withdrawn from the well water
source without producing an undesired effect. This undesired effect can be manifest as
reduction on groundwater discharge. The safe yield can be identified in many ways, but the
usual and most convenient method to use is the pumping test method or termed by the
COWD as “Aquifer Testing”. The safe yield will be calculated of how much GPM the
Aquifer output has, which can be verified using a constant discharge test.
increasing the number of water tank and its capacity to have continuous supply of water for
days should the source have fail to produce the desired amount in a specific day.)
The flow rates are expressed in liters per second. Figure 4.3 shows the frame of the
proposed water distribution design. Figure 4.3 shows the system flow balance between the
inflow and outflow on the system.
Figure 5 shows the system flow balance between the inflow and outflow on the system for 48
hours operation. The red line represents the flow of water on the given time period. The
graph indicates that the pump is operating in 12am - 1 am, 7am-9am. On the other hand,
green lines represent the water consumption using 48-hour demand pattern, which can be
found in appendix A.3.
The tabulated data on junction ID, elevation, and base demand can be found on appendix E.1.
On minimum and maximum demand operation, the pressure on all junctions has are all
Liceo de Cagayan University College of Engineering Page 23
within the standard requirement between 3m and 70m, which is shown on figure 6. The 1.715
pressure located on J-1 was due to elevation of tank 2 equal at J-1 which gives it a low
pressure. In addition, it indicates that the J-1 has low pressure due to the presence of a valve
at the minimum demand but at the maximum demand the pressure required is achieved.
Therefore, this low pressure does not cause any negative effect on the system.
The tabulated pipeline data of the system which in includes the pipeline length, pipeline
diameter with its corresponding Hazen William’s roughness coefficient can be found on
appendix E.4. The maximum allowable velocity on pipelines was 1.5 m/s for distribution
pipeline. Figure 7 shows the velocities on the system during the minimum and maximum
demand operation. It shows that the velocities of the pipeline were too low which could
eventually result to pipeline sedimentation. Pipeline diameters was increased to test if this
velocity would give a visible higher value. Unfortunately, it only gives a negligible amount
of change 45 on the velocities of pipelines. Therefore, to accommodate this issue, flush
junctions are added on the end of every pipeline of every tank for the monthly flushing of
sediments.
Objective 4. To determine the cost analysis of the proposed water distribution system
The cost of a project is one of the key factors to consider in implementing a proposed design.
In most cases, the most economical approach is always provided taking into account the
effectiveness. Table 5 and Table 6 are the estimated quantity and cost of design analyzed
using Detailed Unit Price Analysis (DUPA) provided by DPWH. The prices of the materials
were canvased at CHARICE BUILDERS AND TRADING location at MACAPAGAL
DRIVE UPPER CARMEN, CDO and BME PARTNER INC. location at GUSA CDO.
