design steps of Water Supply projects and part two is practical design of sample project
These manual is developed for water supply and sanitation studies, designs and
Execution for woreda experts of ORDA to capacitate the experts on studies, design and
implement water supply projects in sustainable manner and finally to meet the MDG of
the region and in turns the country.
The user shall modify the parameters taking in to account the particular project
Generally the manual covers, plant capacity, forecasting future population, water
demand assessment, source assessment and evaluation. Then the conveyance and
distribution with detail raising main design, collection chamber, pumping units and
service storage is designed. Finally the Model design of Tekakie water supply project
and bill of Quantity is included.
Water is required for any living things. Nations have a right to get safe water supply. to
address water to the community through public tapes or individual house connections
the first work is the preparation of the water supply project. The project is prepared
after doing /field survey work and collecting the required data. After the preparation of
the project, it is sent to the competent authority for sanction of grants for completing
the project. When the grants are sanctioned, the government departments dealing
with it take up the construction of the project. While planning water supply project, care
is taken to insure that it should be economical and efficient scheme meeting the
present as well as future requirement for a considerable time.
But according to the ministry of water resource urban water supply criteria the planning
horizon will be considered as

The overall objective of water supply and sanitation policy is to enhance the well-being
and productivity of the Ethiopian people through provision of adequate, reliable and
clean water supply and sanitation services and to foster its tangible contribution to the
economy by providing water supply services that meet the livestock, industry and other
water users' demands.
1. Provision of, as much as conditions permit, sustainable and sufficient water supply
services to all the peoples of Ethiopia.
2. Satisfying water supply requirements for livestock, industries and other users as
much as conditions permit.
3. Carry out operation and maintenance of all water supply and sanitation services in
a sustainable and efficient manner.
6 Enhancing the well being and productivity of the people by creating conducive
environment for the promotion of appropriate sanitation services
In the design of any water works projects it is necessary to estimate the amount of
water that is required. This involves:
The determination of people who will be served
The per capita water consumption
Analysis of the factors that may operate to affect consumption
For many purposes the average daily consumption is convenient. It is obtained by
dividing the population in to the total daily consumption averaged over one year.
It must be realized, however, that using the total population may in some cases, result
in serious in accuracy, since a large proportion of the population may be solved by
privately owned wells. A more accurate figure would be the daily consumption per
person served.
Survey works have to be done to prepare the topographical map of the area, showing
elevations of the various points, density of population in different zones. This map
helps in deciding the positions of intake works and treatment plants, type of system to
be adopted for conveyance and distribution of water, and reservoir site selection
Geological data and survey of the ground water is done in the vicinity of the area, to
know the quantity of available water at various depths in the ground. And also for
reservoir and other water supply structure foundation investigation geotechnical
investigation are important
The hydrological and the available surface water sources data in the vicinity of the
area are collected to determine the quantity of water available in the surface sources.
2.5 Sanitary conditions of the area
The sanitary conditions of the area and data regarding possible sources of water
pollution are collected for deciding the preventive measures against them.
Legal data of the lands to be purchased or acquired for the constriction of various units
of water works are collected. Legal laws on land zoning, land ownership, water rights,
administrative pattern etc, should also be collected, so that the acquisition of land and
collection of water may not involve legal complications and delay in the construction of
the project.
Data on the public options are also collected, regarding the start of the project, so that
while seeking administrative approval justification can be given.
The origin of all water is rainfall. Water can be collected as it falls as rain before it
reaches the ground; or as surface water when it flows over the ground; or is pooled in
lakes or ponds; or as ground water when it percolates in to the ground and flows or
collects as ground water; from the sea (ocean) in to which it finally flows.
Therefore sources of water supply schemes can conveniently be classified as follows:
1. Rain and snow
2. Surface water:
Rivers
Lakes
Pond
Sea water
Impounding reservoirs
Wastewater reclamation
3. Underground sources
Springs
Depression springs
Contact springs
Artesian springs
Hot springs
Wells
Shallow wells
Deep wells
Infiltration galleries
Infiltration wells
3.1.1 Springs
Springs are formed when ground water appears at the ground surface for any reason
as flowing water.
Types of springs:
1. Depression spring: is a spring formed when the ground surface intersects the
water table.
2. Contact spring: is a spring created by a water bearing formation overlying an
impervious formation that intersects the ground surface.
3. Artesian spring: is a spring that results from the release of water under
pressure from confined water bearing formation either through a
fault or fissure reaching the ground surface. It is also known as
fracture spring.
3.1.2 Wells
Well are artificial holes or pits vertically excavated for bringing ground water to the
surface mostly with pumping mechanism.
Types of Wells:-
1. Shallow wells
Shallow wells may be large diameter hand dug wells (diameter 1-4m) and
depth 20m. Or machine drilled wells of small diameter (diameter 8-60cm)
and depth 60m.
2. Deep wells.
Deep wells are most large, deep, high-capacity wells constructed by drilling rig.
Construction can be accomplished by cable tool method or rotary method.
Drilling rigs are capable of drilling wells 8 to 60cm in diameter and depth
600m.
The selection of the source of supply is done on the above points and the source
which will give good quality and quantity at least cost will be selected. This economic
policy may lead to the selection of both surface and ground water sources to cities.
The present and future water demand of the town depends on the size of the
population to be served, their standard of living and activities, the cost of water
supplied and the availability of wastewater service. It varies according to the
requirements of the population, industry, hotels, livestock farming, institutional and
social establishments, municipal water supplies for the watering of public green area
and street cleaning. In addition to these demands allowances need to be included for
leakage, wastage, and operational requirements such as flushing of mains
The surface hydrology and the available surface water sources in the vicinity of the
area are determined by.
Watersheds area and nature
The annual rainfall in the Basin
Rainfall-runoff relationship.
rivers or springs base flow or Underground inflow from the major aquifers of area
But unfortunately most of the surface water in the Ethiopia is not gauged and difficult to
determine the flow duration curve which is derived based on the flow data of the river
(the annual or monthly water availability to meet the objective of the project). Therefore
the water budget or balance for the catchment is computed after building a model
based on SWAT for the proposed Catchment. As a result flow Vs Exceed of time flow
percentage can be plotted as shown in the figure 4.1
4.1.1.2 Groundwater
Similar to the surface water potential assessment the ground water potential has to be
also determined with hydro geological investigation and the annual or monthly ground
water contribution or balance for the catchment should computed by WATBL or SWAT
for the proposed Catchment.
The occurrence and movement of groundwater in the area as well as the structure of
the Aquifer system is controlled by the geological and geomorphological setting of the
regional as well as local environment associated with the recharge mechanisms.
Study of Water Table and Groundwater Flow Pattern can also assist for the bore hole
site selection and depth estimation. The general principle is that water flows from
areas of high hydraulic head to areas of low hydraulic head, following its preferential
paths such as fault/fracture zones, open joints, permeable horizons like weathered
zones and interconnected vesicular or scoria /scorecous layers as in the case of
shown in the template 4.2.
The average daily per capita water consumption varies. The variation depends up on a
number of important factors, including:
Size of city /Population
Presence of Industries And Commerce
Quantity of the water
Its price
Climatic Condition
Characteristics of the Population
Whether supplies are metered or
Efficiency of the water works administration
Fire Demand
Density of Population
The more important of these factors will be separately treated below, but some can be
briefly discussed here.
The efficiency of the water works management will affect consumption by decreasing
loss and waste. Leaks in water mains and services and unauthorized use of water can
be to a minimum by surveyors.
A water supply that is both safe and attractive in quality will be used to a great extent
than one of poor quality. In this connection it should be recognized that improvement of
the quality of water supply will probably be followed by an increase in consumption.
Increasing the pressure will have a similar effect. Changing the rates changed for
water has little effect up on consumption, at least in prosperous periods.
The effect of size of city is probably indirect. It is true that small per capita water
consumption is to be expected in a small city, but this is usually due to the fact that
there are only limited uses for water in small towns. On the other hand, the presence
of an important water using industry may result in high consumption.
A small city is likely to have a relatively larger area that is inadequately served by both
the water and sewer systems than a large city. Sewerage or its absence will have
considerable effect.
The water furnished to a city can be classified according to its ultimate use or end.
The uses are:
Domestic
Commercial & Industrial
Public use
Loss and waste
Domestic water demand includes water for drinking, food preparation, washing,
cleaning, and miscellaneous domestic purposes. The amount of water used for
domestic purposes varies depending on the lifestyle, living standard, climate, mode of
service and above all on the price of the water and affordability level of the users
4.1.3.1.1 Establishment of per capita per day water demand for each mode of
service
Figure 4-3 Rural percapita per day water demand by purpose for each mode of
service
Figure 4-4 Establishment of per capita per day water demand by purpose for each
mode of service
Figure 4-5 Domestic water demand for urban centers with two stage planning horizon
A per-capita demand of a particular group depends on the life style and awareness of
the group Furthermore, factors which influence the growth rate of per-capita
consumption for particular mode of service has to be taken into account, these include:
Affordability level of the community in relation to existing and planned water
tariff level
Availability and quality of water
Institutional capacity of the body which runs the water supply system in terms
of adequate staffing, equipment and facilities to offer a sustainable water supply
system
The per-capita consumption of the five commonly known modes of services are
estimated to grow at the following ranges
The distribution of population for each mode of service shall be determined by the use
of published statistical data. After establishing the population distribution for the base
year (usually the year in which the study is conducted), a forecast shall be made for
the design years.
Where summers are hot and dry, much water will be used for watering lawns.
Domestic use will be further increased by more bathing, while public use will be
affected by use in parks and recreation fields for watering grass and for ornamental
fountains. On the other hand, in cold weather water may be wasted at the faucets to
prevent freezing of pipes, there by greatly increasing consumption. High temperatures
may also lead to high water use for air conditioning.
These are largely dependent up on the economic status of the consumers and will
differ greatly in various sections of a city.
In the high value residential districts of a city or in a suburban community with a similar
population the water consumption per capita will be high.
In apartment houses, this may be considered as representing the maximum domestic
demand to be expected.
In area of moderate –or high value single residences even higher consumption may be
expected, since to the ordinary domestic demand there will be added an amount for
watering lawns. The slum districts of large cities will have lower per capita
consumptions, the lowest figures of all will be found in low-value districts where
sewerage is not available and where perhaps a single faucet serves one or several
homes.
A Towns enjoying high living standards and with very high 1.10
potential for development
B Towns having a very high potential for development but 1.05
lower living standard at present
C Towns under normal Ethiopian conditions 1.00
D Advanced Rural Towns 0.90
The demand for livestock watering from the public water supply system shall be
assessed for each town individually during the socio-economic survey. The live stock
water demand is considered where there are no traditional sources such as river and
streams available within a radius of 5km from the area to be considered for water
supply provision. When animal watering is to be allowed for, the following specific
demands will be adopted:
Water so classified is that furnished to industrial and commercial plants. Its importance
will depend up on local conditions, such as the existence of large industries and
whether or not the industries patronize (utilize) the public water or not.
In most case big industries are assumed to have their own water supply system;
however the following values can be taken for some industries.

This water is sometimes classified as “un accounted for”, although some of the loss
and waste may be accounted for in the sense that its cause and amount are
approximately known. Un-accounted for water is due to:
meter and pump slippage
Unauthorized water connections and
Leaks in mains
It is apparent that the unaccounted for water, also waste by consumers, can be
reduced by careful maintenance of the water system and by universal metering of all
water services. In a system 100 percent metered and moderately well maintained the
unaccounted for water, exclusive of pump slippage, will be about 10 percent. But
according to ministry of water resource design criteria 2006 a figure of 15% is
generally regarded as good.
There are wide variations in use of water in different months of the year, day of
the month and hours of the day. To regulate the water demand variation the
average water demand is multiplied by a certain factor to get the maximum day
and peak hour demand.
The average day demand is taken to be the sum of the demands of domestic,
commercial and institutional, industrial, public and unaccounted for water (UFW).
The maximum day demand is the highest demand of any one day in any
specified year. The ratio of the maximum daily consumption to the mean annual
daily consumption is the max day factor. This demand is used to design source
capacity, riser mains, and service reservoir.
The peak hour demand is one of the highest water demands within any one hour
over the year and estimated taking in to account the possible water collection
hours and amount collected by each demand category. Previous studies and
experiences clearly demonstrate that peak hour factor is greater for a smaller
population.
Prior to design of a water works one must establish the length of time the improvement
will serve the community before it is abandoned or enlarged. For example, an
impounding reservoir may be constructed of such a capacity that it will furnish a
sufficient amount of water for 30 years, or the capacity of a water purification plant may
be adequate for 10 years. These periods are known as periods of design, and they
It is more difficult to estimate the population in some future year. Several methods are
used but it should be pointed out that judgment must be exercised by the engineer as
to which method is most applicable. Acknowledge of
The city and its environs
Its trade territory
Whether or not its industries are expanding
The state of development in the surrounding country
Location with regard to rail or water shipment of raw materials and
manufactured goods
Will all enter is to the estimation of future population.
Overestimation of population, on the other hand, results in excess capacity which must
be financed by a smaller population at a considerably higher unit cos.
The growth of a community with limited land area for future expansion might be
modeled using the declining growth or logistic technique, while another, with larger
rescores of land, power water, and good transportation might be best predicted by the
geometric or uniform percentage growth model.
This method is based up on the hypothesis that the rate of growth is constant. The
hypothesis may be tested by examining the growth of the community to determine if
approximate equal incremental increases have occurred between recent censuses.
The population in the future is then estimated from
Pt = Po + Kt
Their technique involves the graphical projection of the past population growth curve,
following whatever tendencies the graph indicates. The communing used variant of
this method includes comparison of the projected growth to that of other cities of larger
size. The cities chosen for the composition should be as similar as possible to the city
being studied. Geographical proximity, likeness of economic base, access to similar
transportation systems, and other such factors should be considered.
The logistic curve used in modeling population trends has an S shape. The hypothesis
of logistic growth may be tested by plotting recorded population data on logistic paper
on which it will appear as a straight line if the hypothesis valid. In the short term,
logistic projection can be made based up on the equation.

The ratio method of forecasting relies upon the population projection of state or federal
demographers and the presumption that the city in question will maintain the same
trend in the change of the ratio of its population to that of the larger entity. Application
of the method requires calculations of the ratio to the estimated regional population in
the year of interest.

Pn= population at the target year
Pp = present population

5. INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN
Are devices or structures in a surface water source to draw water from this source
and then discharge in to an intake conduit through which it will flow in to the water
works system.
There are different types of intakes, such as reservoir intakes, river intakes and canal
intake
Or
Figure 5-2b Tower water intake for a lake or reservoir water supply
Where rock foundations are available, some cities have built elaborate river intakes,
resembling bridge piers with ports at various depths, to allow for great fluctuations in
river stage. Small cities may use pipe intakes similar to those described under lake
intakes. The bottom must be sufficiently stable. And the water deep enough to allow
for a submergence of at least 1m at all times with a clear opening beneath the pipe..
River intakes are especially likely to need screens to exclude large floating matter
which might injure pumps.
River intake is located inside the river so as to get adequate supply in all seasons.
This consists of a concrete well in the canal. An inlet pipe laid in the canal bed leads in
to the well. As the full supply level in the canal is, fairly constant, inlets at different
depths are not necessary.
The inlet end of the pipe is provided with an enlarged bell mouth, to which is fixed a
hemispherical fine screen which prevents floating materials from entering the intake
pipe. Also, there is a coarse screen provided so that big floating particles are excluded.
The water from the out let of the intake pipe is led to a sump well or supply.
Let for a Circular slab freely supported at the edge & loaded uniformly
Let Mr = radial bending moment
MӨ = circumferential bending moment
w = uniformly distributed load
r= radius of slab
Figure 5-5 Circular slab freely supported at the edge and loaded uniformly
In this case the maximum radial and circumferential bending moment occurs at the
center of the slab.
Radial moment (Mr) varies parabolic ally from a maximum value of 3/16wr2 at the
center to zero at the edge.
The circumferential moment decreases parabolic ally from a maximum values 3/6wr2at
Analysis
The wall will act as a cantilever from the base with some end constraints. The wall will
be subjected to axial load from roof slab and bending moment and hoop tension from
hydrostatic pressure of water.
The axial load coming from roof slab on the wall should becomes
Paxial =WL/2; where w=the distributed load on the slab
L= the diameter of the tank
The self weight of the wall should be considered
Pself = thickness*length*concrete*width
Total P =Pself +Paxial
At the bottom of the wall, the bending causes tension in the concrete on the water side
face, so the design of the section is controlled by
Moment + P ≤ ∂cbc (allowable bearing stress in concrete)
Section modulus Area
In designing circular tanks we have to work out the magnitude of the maximum hoop
tension and max. B.M. in the tank wall and thereafter provide reinforcement
accordingly. In I.S. code method, the magnitude of bending moment, and hoop tension
at different height of the circular tank wall can be directly worked out by using
appropriate coefficients given in tabular form in IS: 3370(part IV). In the code different
tables of coefficients are specified for different conditions of joints (between the tank
and floor/roof slab) and different loading conditions
The method of designing circular tank with rigid joint between the wall and floor slab by
I.S. code method can be summarized as under:
i. From the given capacity of storage of water, fix the values of depth of water (H)
and diameter (D) of the tank.
ii. Fix the value of appropriate thickness of wall by the formula t= (30H+60) mm
iii. Find the ratio H2/Dt
And work out corresponding values of respective co-efficient for tension, B.M. and
shear from tables.
iv. Find hoop tension by the formula
T= co-efficient *wH*D/2 KN/m
Where w= wt. of water in KN/m2
V. find the bending moment by the formula
M= co-efficient*wH³KNm
vi. Find shear force by the formula
V. co-efficient*wH2 KN/m
Where co-efficient is to be read from table
The approximate wall thickness of wall by the formula t=30H+60mm
When the tank rests on good ground, the floor slab should be strong enough to
transfer the load to the weight of the liquid stored and the self weight of the structure to
the soil below without subsidence. The floor slab is usually 150mm to 200mm thick
and the reinforcement is provided in the form of mesh both at top and bottom face of
the slab. Before laying the ground is properly rammed and leveled; then a 75mm thick
layer of lean concrete C-10 grade should be laid and cured. This bottom layer should
be covered with layer of tar felt to enable the floor slab act in dependently of the
bottom layer. In water logged soils the bottom layer of concrete should preferably be of
C-15 grade.
The minimum reinforcement from practical consideration should not be less than 0.3%
of the gross-cross sectional area of the floor slab.
The maximum pressure is an indicate whether which type of material is to be used and
which class is sufficient to resist the pressure without burst e.g. class III HDP pipe,
Class IV HDP pipe, or galvanized iron (GI) pipe with different class must be used. The
choice is determined by the maximum pressure that the pipe will be subjected to
(these maximum pressure are always the result of static pressure levels). The
maximum pressure limits for each type of these pipes is discussed below.
Class III HDP pipe: maximum pressure rating =6 Kg/cm2 (60 meters of head). This is
the standard pipe used where pressure do not exceeds 60 meters of head.
Class IV HDP pipe: maximum pressure rating =10 Kg/cm2 (100 meters of head). This
is the standard pipe used where pressure exceeds 60 meters of head but less than
100meters. Its wall thickness is greater, which allow it to withstand greater pressures,
but it is much more expensive than class III.
GI pipe: maximum pressure rating =25 Kg/cm2 (250 meters of head). GI pipe is
preferred where pressure exceeds 100 meters of head.
The pressure under the section where the HGL is under ground is a negative pressure
(negative head).Negative pressure in the pipe line means that the water is being
siphoned through ( sucked from below rather than pushed from above).
The minimum pressure in the distribution network should not be below 5 m during
peak hour flow. But according to the ministry of water the minimum and maximum
pressure limits is below.
The velocity of flow through the pipeline is also another matter of considerations. If the
velocity is great, suspended particles in the flow can cause excessive erosion of the
pipe; and if the velocity is too low, then these same suspended particles may settle out
of the flow and collect at low points in the pipe line, eventually clogging it left
unattended. In addition it should not allow silting and high detention times in the rising
pipes due to low velocities Though the velocity limit depends on the pipe material
general recommended velocity range are:
A Maximum velocity at less than 2 m/sec, except in short sections
A minimum velocity of 0.6 m/sec can be taken

The capacity of the reservoir should have to accommodate the cumulative difference

average daily demand of the maximum day water demand of the design period is
recommended

The following are some notes on the salient features of service reservoirs and the
alternatives that may be adopted.
5.4.6.1 Depth
There is an economical depth of service reservoir for any given site. For a given
quantity of water either a shallow reservoir having long walls and a large floor area
may be constructed or, alternatively. A deep reservoir may be constructed with high
retaining walls and a smaller floor area. Depths most usually used are as follows:
These figures don’t apply to water towers or pre-stressed concrete reservoirs. For this
kind of reservoir there are factors influencing depth for a given storage these are:
5.4.6.2 Shape
Circular reservoir is geometrically the most economical shape, giving the least
amount of walling for a given volume and depth.
It has the attraction of allowing construction of a thin reinforced concrete dome
shaped roof.
Circular tank is the simplest.
For the same capacity of storage, it has the advantage that it requires less
The structural design of reservoir is just the same principle as collection chamber,
since they are the same but different function.
The main aim of distribution system is to develop adequate water pressure at various
points of the consumer’s taps. Depending upon the level of the source of water and the
city, topography of the area, and other local conditions and consideration, the water
may be forced into the distribution system in the following three ways:
1. by gravity
2. by pumps
3. gravity in conjunction with on-line storage
In this method the excess water pumped during periods of low consumption is
stored in elevated tanks or reservoirs. During periods of high consumption the
stored water is drawn up on to augment that pumped. This method allows fairly
uniform rates of pumping and hence is economical, for the pumps may be operated
at their rate capacity. Since the water stored furnishes a reserve to care for fires and
pump breakdowns, this method of operations fairly reliable. Motor pumpers must
ordinarily be used for higher fire pressure, although it is possible to close the valves
leading to the elevated storage tanks and operate a fire pump at the pumping plant.
In this method the pumps force water directly in to the mains with no other outlet
than the water actually consumed. It is the least desirable system, for a power
failure would mean complete interruption in water supply. As consumption varies,
the pressure in the mains is likely to fluctuate. To conform to the varying
consumption several pumps are available to add water output when needed, a
procedure requiring constant attendance. The peak power consumptions of the
water plant are likely to occur during periods of otherwise high current consumption
and thus increase power cost. An advantage of direct pumping is that a large fire
service pump may be used which can run up the pressure to any desired amount
permitted by the construction of the mains.
For use in transmission and distribution systems, pipe materials must have the
following characteristics:
Adequate tensile strength and bending strength to withstand external loads.
High bursting strength to withstand internal water pressure
Ability to resist impact loads to water flow suitable for handling and joining
facilities
Resistance to both internal and external corrosion
Valves Used to isolate and drain pipe line sections for test, inspection, cleaning and repair
i) Gate valves. Are installed in every main and sub-main to isolate a portion of the
network system during a repair.
ii) Check-valves (Non-Return valves). Are generally used to prevent reversal of flow
when a pump is shot down
iii) Air-Relief Valves. In long pipes lines air will accumulate in the high points (summits)
of the line and may interfere with the flow. It is necessary, therefore, to place air relief
valves at those points where trouble is expected.
iv) Pressure regulating valves. These valves automatically reduce pressure on the d/s
side to any desired magnitude and are used on lines entering low areas of a city,
without such reductions pressures would be too high.
The tap stands are the most frequently-used component of entire system. No other
source will face more abuse than these and no other structure will have fit in so closely
with local social.
Not only tap stand itself, but the immediate surrounding area must also be carefully
selected and attractive, and inviting place. Poorly completed, and it will be a dirty, muddy,
unhygienic eyesore.
In addition to being the point to collect water, the tap stand area must allow room for
cloth-washing as well as bathing.
The number of taps required in system will be greatly influenced by the geographical lay
out-out of the village. Isolated wards, no matter how small will require their own .The
school (if one or several) and health posts should also have one
The location of the tap stands should be based upon a number of considerations:
It will serve those family that will depend upon it
Is there an adequate point for the waste-water
The need for additional taps can be minimized by trying to predict in which direction the
village is likely to expand in the future, and locate the tap stands accurately.
according to the ministry of water resource design criteria, public fountains will be located
to ensure that each customer will be within 500 meters walking distance. In addition each
public fountain should serve from 150 to 200 houses. Each fountain will be fitted
One of the most difficult conditions in rural water supply system is the efficient utilization.
This could result from the following conditions:
1. The material for fetching water which is kept under faucet is of narrow opening so
that the water that is lost may exceed the water entering.
2. Proper operation of the faucet is not usually observed and practiced by the people
due to lack of awareness.
3. the time to fill the container is not regulated due many reasons so that the water will
flow until the faucet is closed
Due to the above reasons the following measures has to be taken:
1 For fetching material whose opening is narrow appropriate funnel should be used.
2 Plastic hose pipe should also be used in addition to the first option
3 Properly trained person which is responsible both in looking after the operation of
the faucet and give deliberate announcement about the efficient utilization of water
should be employed.
Generating sets should be capable of driving all the electric motors of the plant to full
design capacity plus any expected overload (e.g. at start-up).
Deep boreholes should be provided with submersible pumps. While maintaining this
practice, the possibility of equipping medium depth boreholes with shaft driven turbines
should not be precluded. Shaft-driven pumps may be more expensive in terms of initial
investment, but could well be cheaper in the long run through ease of maintenance, longer
service life span and more efficient operation. Shaft driven turbine pumps will usually be
driven by an electric motor with power supplied from the grid or locally provided by diesel
generator. Only under special circumstances may such pumps be directly driven by diesel
engine through a coupling and suitable gear drive.
The design working capacity of pumps (duty point) will be determined taking into account
the system requirement and the number of units working simultaneously. The pump
characteristics should normally allow working in a range between 2/3 to 1.5 times the
nominal discharges at the design duty point (unless a pump with such characteristics is not
a standard item). The duty point of pumps expected to work in parallel with others will take
into account the effect of the combined pumps’ duty on the resistance head of the system.
The available system NPSH at the maximum flow rate should exceed by at least 1.0 m the
pump manufacturer’s required NPSH. However, consideration will be given to pump
systems of a design which avoids the problems of low or negative suction heads.
The power required to drive the pump or the motor power will be
Pm = QH
102 P*m
The power required to start a pump is assumed to be twice of the amount of required for
operation of the pump. Taking in to account the efficiency of the diesel engine to be d and
power factor of cos the power of generator is calculated as
Pd = 2* QH
102 P*m**d
The type of the pump and the actual model of the pump should be selected based on both
pump characteristics and system characteristics. The pump characteristics can be analyzed
from manufacturers curve
Electric motor ratings will take into account the actual working range, and be over-rated at
least 20% of the maximum calculated power requirement at any point in the actual working
range, in addition to any de-rating factor for altitude.

observation.
10. REFERENCE
Model Project
According to the data obtained for the kebele, the total population which the project can
incorporate is estimated to be 3,065 until the study of the project.
Regarding the infrastructures and social services, kebeles are not connected to the
national grid of electric supply even though the kebeles are densely populated and near
to Harbu. Tekakie has Satelite telecommunication access. It has also primary and junior
/1-8/ school. As stated by the woreda Administrators the dwellers number is increasing
from time to time. Hence to improve the living conditions of the community a potable,
reliable and adequate new water supply system is planned to be study. 20 years design
period is considered for most of the system except reservoir and pump which are in two
phases

2. DEMAND ANALYSIS
2.1 Population projection
For Tekakie kebele and Tulu abajibo got of Maywa kebele, constant percentage of
growth is assumed for equal period of time. For such developing kebele centers
having a constant growth rate, population geometric progress method, is the
commonly used formula to forecast the population at the end of n years.
Pn= Pp (1 +r) n
Where:
Pp = present population
Using the above formula and growth rates calculated results are tabulated below.
Table 2-3 Growth rates as established by CSA for Urban Population Projection of
Amhara region

Low Variant 6.37 5.19 4.71 4.22 3.8 3.38 2.97
Two methods as mentioned above are used to compare and select the most
appropriate population figure for the area. The projected population obtained in first
way/ ESP component 3 rural planning models January 2001 / is low compared to
existing growth rate and development of the kebele. Hence the second method
whose growth rate is determined from central statistics authority variants specially
using the medium variant favors the study area. The projected population at 2030
is therefore 7,103.
This demand category includes the water requirement for drinking, washing, and
cooking, bathing, cleaning& personal hygiene.
Generally for this rural kebeles water supply system, the modes and levels of
services can be categorized as public fountains/PF/, Yard connection/YC/, and
traditional source users.

In order to account for changes of average percapita domestic demand, the water
demand is factored by climatic factors.
As Meteorological data of kombolcha, the project area has a mean annual rainfall
of 1100 mm, which falls under group C. Hence; considers an adjustment factor of
0.9 to refine the average per capita domestic water demand is considered.
In the view of the above and considering their development, they are classified
under group D and appropriate adjustment factor of 0.9 is adopted.
A Towns enjoying high living standards and with very high 1.10
potential for development
B Towns having a very high potential for development but lower 1.05
living standard at present
C Towns under normal Ethiopian conditions 1.00
D Advanced Rural Towns 0.90
This demand category includes the water requirement of health post, school,
market, and public facilities government offices.
As there is no clear information and development plan data for such kebeles, 10%
of the domestic demand for design purpose is considered
Pd = 10% of Dwd
All water leakages in the system and unauthorized connections are categorized
under un accounted for water. This includes:
Due to new deep well source multivilage water supply system, sufficient data
concerning the loss could not be assessed clearly here. Water losses in the design
years are adopted from previous studies by Alexander Gibbs of 12 town’s feasibility
study and deign project. According to the curve the percentage losses, the
following unaccounted losses / percentage of average day demand/ are adopted.
Loss /%/ 10 15 18 22 25
The ratio of the maximum daily consumption to the mean annual daily consumption
is the max day factor. This demand is used to design source capacity, riser mains,
and service reservoir.
Previous studies and experiences clearly demonstrate that peak hour factor is
greater for a smaller population.
Therefore, maximum day factor of 1.3 and peak hour factor of 2 are adopted for
economical design of this water supply system.

According to water well drilling report obtained, the depth of the deep well is 90m
yielding more than 5 lt/sec. Thus it indicates that the well has enough capacity to
deliver the required water demand (4.0lt/sec).
Tekakie well
The gravity mains deliver water from deep well source to the proposed service
reservoir. The size of gravity main is designed to convey economically the proposed
discharge from well to service reservoir.

As per the number of the existing population and level of income of the society it is
mandatory to minimize the risk of developing a project with too high tariffs for the
consumers. So it could be considered to phase the construction of the reservoir in
two phases. Consequently, the construction of the reservoir is only to be made for
the corresponding kebele at each phase of the project i.e. 2010-2020 and 2020-
2030.
3.3.1 Shape
Capacity of reservoir for these two kebeles is determined using simplified empirical
method commonly practiced in many water supply projects. This is simply taking
one third of the maximum day demand at the end of design period i.e.
= 1/3*0.002 m3/sec
= 0.00067 m3/sec
=0.00067 m3/sec*24*3600sec

Hd= elevation difference (m)
=Pump efficiency
Hd=1554.4-1471.5 =82.9m
102 102*0.65
P=10.92kW
The operation of the pump is affected by altitude change, therefore a reduction of
10% power is considered for every 1000m of altitude rise a.m.s.l
P=12.62kw =15.76 16 KW

The power of generator is considered as plus 40% of the pump, hence
Power of generator =1.4*16KVA
=22.4 KVA
Therefore, use submersible pump with

H=180
P=16 KVA
For Phase I and

P=24 KVA
Power of generator=33.6 KVA
For phase II
5. Distribution Network
The distribution network is designed in such a way that it safely and economically
accommodates the peak hour demand of 2030. The layout of the distribution network
has been prepared based on the existing settlement pattern and topographic
suitability. As per the design criteria, the following guidelines are maintained in the
analysis of the distribution network.
During peak hour flow velocity shall be between 0.3 and 2.2 m/s
During minimum consumption water shall not be stagnant in the distribution
network.
The minimum and maximum pressure in the distribution system shall be 15m
and 75m head of water respectively in the distribution.
In the simulation of the network system the demand at each node is calculated
based on the information gathered regarding the future development trend of the
rural kebeles and the estimated population density.
The hydraulic network diagram for system Tekakie and Mayawa as shown on the
layout drawing including minimum demand (night time) and peak hour demand (day
time) conditions were carried out using the software called water cad 6.5. Specific
print outs of simulation results covering minimum and peak hour consumption
periods are attached in annex D of the-------also schematic layouts showing the
proposed pipe distribution network are presented in Figure 5.1.
As per the analysis from the hydraulic calculation and summary the maximum
pressure at minimum demand is 100.2m (10bar).
The Maximum pressure observed during minimum consumption period (night time)
and observed during peak hour consumption period is 100.2m at the borehole. While
the Minimum pressure during peak hour consumption period is 4.5 at node X42
which is around the outlet of the reservoir. In general all nodes, in the distribution
network except node X42 have a pressure greater than 15m and lower than 100m
(10 bar).
Therefore, the nominal pressure of the pipes in the distribution network will be PN
10. As per the design, the total length of the distribution pipe is 6,720m. The pipe
material to be used is uPVC and GI with PN-10. The minimum & maximum pipe
diameter in the distribution network is DN 25 and DN 80 respectively.
Figure 5-1 Distribution network of Tekakie-Miawa Water Supply Project global mapper
Since it passes mostly through farmers private lands it should be below ground. A
trench about 60 cm wide is dug out along the alignment, up to 80cm depth. The
trench is filled in 20cm layers and rammed.
Air release valves are provided at peak points in the pipeline to remove excess air
and to make the flow smooth and at low nods, roads & river crossings, flush outlets
and other necessary system appurtenances are provided. Where appropriate,
6. Public Fountains
The total number of public fountains, which are required for household consumption,
has been limited considering the walking distance for a farthest user in sparsely
populated rural areas of 500m. Thus considering topography, walking distance and
number of population a total of six (of which three for Tekakie and one for Tulu
abajibu Got) public fountains each with four faucets are proposed in the first
phase/2010-2020/.
Among six total water points proposed, five water points are proposed for domestic
purpose and the remaining one is for institutional use.
In Tekakie there are two institutions serving the people namely health post, and full
cycle primary & junior school/1-8/. So in order for the students and teachers in the
school are daily beneficiaries of clean water, a fountain with four faucets is proposed.
But for the health post, it is recommended to use one faucet tap while it upgrades to
health centre since it is very near to distribution line.
The locations of public fountains are decided together with the presence of Keble
Administrators, and Woreda water resource Office expert. Besides the total number
of public fountains, which are required to be provided for the new system, has been
estimated assuming 800 people are to be served by one public fountain
The public fountains are designed in such a way that users of various water fetching
types like jerrican, clay pot and barrel could easily be served.
7. Disinfection
All water supplies should be disinfected in order to protect public health.
Disinfections inactivates any remaining bacteria in the water after previous treatment
steps and provides a residual disinfectants to inactivate bacteria introduced by any
subsequent entrance of contaminated water during storage or distribution. Hence all
water supplied through distribution system should be disinfected to provide a residual
disinfectant, which provides ongoing protection from bacterial growth and survival.
Generally chlorine gas and chlorine compounds are used to disinfect water before
distribution. Chlorine gas needs more expensive feeding equipment, difficult to
operate & maintain, and requires skilled supervisor so, use of chlorine compounds is
preferred to chlorine gas. Among the chlorine compounds, calcium hypochlorite is
selected to sodium hypochlorite, as the available chlorine in calcium hypochlorite is
greater.
The calcium hypochlorite solution will be prepared in a tank provided with motor
driven paddles to thoroughly mix the chemical. The solution will then be directed to a
constant head regulator to keep constant head then will be dosed in to the clean
water reservoir through plastic tube fitted with flow regulating tap. Two solution tanks
with mixers will be employed to ensure uninterrupted operation while one tank is
being filled for solution preparation.
This chlorine dosing facilities will be installed at the top of the clean water reservoir.
The equipment will be provided with simple shade to protect it from the attack of
direct sunlight and rain. On the gravity main small pumps will be installed to supply
water to chlorine mixtures. Accessories like chlorine weighing pan, residual chlorine
measuring and etc will be provided for accurate measurement and controlling dosing
rate.
3.1 Introduction
The main mission of the initial environmental impact examination and evaluation in
this study is needed to assess the existing condition. Furthermore, to observe
preliminary cases and predicted effects that can be noticed due to the project on
natural and physical resources and human-environment of the proposed water
supply sites. The observed results will be used in improving the design, decision-
making and community participation to ensure sustainable and environmentally
sound water supply to this kebeles.
Thus, the study will thoroughly focus on existing situations that have impacts on the
project and other likelihood effects or impacts that may arise due to the project on the
immediate sites and on the subsequent water delivering mechanisms to the
beneficiaries. The finding will further enhance the positive impacts and provide
protective devices and mitigation measures for negative impacts. It further assists to
formulate the monitoring and the follow-up procedures for some immediate and long
term adverse effects.
Communities get adequate and safe water supply from the project,
according to the standard of Ministry of Water Resource for rural towns
and kebeles, then they can prevent them from different water born disease
and water washed diseases. This in turn leads them to improve their
health status. Because of this reason they become more productive and it
has an impact on their economical growth.
Before the proposed of this project, the communities that have access to
potable water with in the standard are small and others travel a long
distance to fetch water. Because of these reason the majority loses their
productive time and also energy and this has an impact on poverty. But
due to this proposed water supply and sanitation project, the society will
have accesses to the benefit of the project with in the design period. So
that they can save time and improve social status.
For the emergence of new industries and also job opportunity for the
There is no as such considerable negative impact in this proposed water supply and
sanitation project some of expected impacts are:
Few vegetations specially eucalyptus trees are avoided during pipe laying
construction.This might cause claims from the owners and may have less
significant effect in changing the status of bio-diversity of tha area.
most of the negative impacts caused by the project are accomplished in the
construction period of pipe layings.This can be reduced by proper planning of the
construction activities such as making the construction work to begin in non-farming
and non- harvesting season.
9. IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM
Phase I:-
Phase II:-
As per the report of pump test, the yield of the borehole is more than 5 L/s. But it
should be checked by concerned proffessional since drilled before two Years.
Provision of clean and adquate water to the public users should be supported
by improving the sanitation facility. Therefore, the comminity should be
educated in keeping his/her sanitation and personal hygien. In particular,as
the well field is near and downsstream of the kebele center, the people should
be aware of using latrine for excreta disposal instead of using open field.
