EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is to present the draft design and study of Lege Hidha Multi Villages Climate
Resilient Water Supply Project. The study area used to cover 27 Kebeles of Lege Hidha
Woreda of Bale Administrative Zone of the Oromia National Regional State during the
previous study and currently encompasses total 32 Kebeles under Ginir Administrative Zone
of the Oromia National Regional State as the Previous Bale Zone was divided into Ginir and
Bale Zone itself to simplify the administrative system i.e. the project is now located in Ginir
Administrative Zone. The increment of 37 Kebeles to 32 during design review is due to
incorporation of 5 kebeles of Sawena District around revised intake (Kata Dibe Dam) and
also along revised transmission line of the project.
The main objective of the study is revising the previous Water supply design source from
Wabe River by side intake to flood water harvesting by Zoned Earth Dam which was
designed by Engineering Corporation of Oromia for irrigation purpose. The under
construction dam is located in the eastern part of previous Bale Zone (present Ginir Zone)
of the Oromia National Regional State and specifically in Keta Dibe Kebele in Sawena
district. The previous design of the project from Wabe river source was executed in 2019
G.C and Oromia Construction Corporation (OCC) contractor entered into an agreement with
Client (Ministry of Water & Energy) & Engineering Corporation of Oromia on Consultancy
side to construct the project. Accordingly, the contractor commenced the construction of the
water supply distribution line including Chaffa 1500m3 gravity service reservoir in 2021
G.C. However, the previous 11km transmission line with access road from Wabe River to
Chaffa 1500m3 gravity service reservoir is not still commenced due to lack of budget to
construct access road. Hence, it is very challenge full to access head work site, 5 booster
stations including low head submersible pump at intake, treatment plant and total pressure
line within 11km without access road. The other main challenge was power supply for
previous design pressure line as it is impossible to operate (run) the project with fuel only.
As per the information from the Laga Hidha Wereda administrative officials, electric power
supply from 50km (Sawena District) for Laga Hidha Beltu town was planned by Ethiopian
Electric Power Corporation and receiving this power to Wabe River headwork was
previously proposed if the installation of power line to the town would be executed prior to
the commencement of Water Supply Project. Unless extending 76.3km power line from
Sawena (Micha town) to the project head work in collaboration with EEPC & the bill of
quantity for the previous design for safety was executed to supply power utility from 76.3km
in addition to stand by generator at booster stations. However EEPC changed the plan to
solar panel for the town though they used to commence the excavation works for the project
during the data collection for the Water Supply Project and it is impossible to operate the
booster stations’ pressure line electromechanical works by this limited power & currently
there is shortage of budget to supply electric power from 76.3km for the Water Supply
project. As the phase-I construction contract agreement was signed without considering EEP
utility other than generator with fuel, it is very challenging to operate the project with fuel
only. Those above challenges summed up and led the Consultant and Client concerning
bodies to change the water supply source from Wabe River to Kata Dibe Dam on Dhare
River as water source for the revised project. The Dam (under construction) is located 64km
from Chaffa 1500m3 ground service reservoir (under construction). The water will be
abstracted from the dam by steel intake pipe with DN1200mm which is under construction.
The revised pipe line is reduced from DN1200mm to DN500mm with tee fitting connection
and extended 14km from dam outlet to rapid sand filter type treatment plant by gravity
system.
There are three (3) booster stations with all necessary ancillary structures along 50km left
from treatment plant to Chaffa 1500m3 ground service reservoir. Low head submersible
pump will be installed in booster station-2 reservoir of 1000m3 to deliver to Kelkelcha 100m3
elevated reservoir and Boditi 50m3 existing sandwiched masonry reservoir for their
community along transmission line. Even though water demand for human and livestock to
five kebeles along transmission line is considerably abstracted from the source depending
on their socio economic study, design works for Micha town,Kata dibe kebele and laku is
not incorporated in this revised design works. The Sawena Wereda town Micha town)
independently needs its own design works as it is somewhat wider and needs the Client
direction to do so, though treatment plant is geographically located nearby kata Dibe Kebele,
there are no the Kebele community around there. In addition, Laku Kebele’s boundary is
next to Boditi Kebele along the main transmission line from booster station-1 to booster
station-2.Hence the Consultant considered all 5 kebele communities’ water demand to
overcome the problem that may arise with water demand later and incorporate 2 kebeles’
(Kelkelcha and Boditi) water supply in this design review as they are directly along the main
transmission line.
The area is drought prone and has no easily accessible sustainable source of water for people
and their cattle. Due to this exposure to the climate change, considering the area under the
study of CR-WaSH program is found to be vital.
The main objective of the study is: - To identify the most drought prone kebeles/Gots,
investigate the current water supply situation of the project area, undertaking detail
investigation, identification of feasible water sources and finally to carryout detail study
design for the previous design, currently incorporated kebeles nearby & along transmission
main.
The design period of the project was set to be 20 years, i.e. from year 2022 to 2042 each phase
10 Years. 2021 was assumed as kick off operation.
According to the information obtained from the beneficiary Districts administrative officials, and
CSA population and house census 2007 growth rates, the 2011/19 projected existing population
sizes of the project area are found to be 112,364 and at the end of Second Phase of the project (i.e.,
by 2042) the figure rises to 191,146 for the previous design (when Wabe river was water source
of the design). In the same way, that of additionally incorporated due to water supply source change
is 16,556 and 26,004 for 2022 and 2042 year respectively. Hence, total human population
forecasted to be served from the project at the year 2042 is 217,149 and 137,525 population number
at the end of 2022.
The total animal population for the previous design is 737,763 while 37,671number of livestock
are additionally incorporated during design review for the community nearby and along
transmission main as there is no water supply source in the surroundings. Total number of
livestock expected to be served by the project is 775,434.
Regarding additional source of water identification a lot of effort has been done to assess
availability of safe and reliable surface water sources that are of climate resilient. Wabe
River was identified as potential surface source of water and the proposed intake site was
about 11.35Km from Beltu Town towards North at UTM location X=714712.395
Y=881372.821 Z= 725.976and UTM Zone: 37 for previous design works.
Based on the hydrological study the mean monthly minimum and maximum flow estimated
at the project diversion site from collected stream gauge readings are computed as 8m3/sec
in February and 164.6m3/sec in August respectively for previous design.
A side intake was designed to abstract the river water. The raw water from the intake
minimum water level had been conveyed to pre-sedimentation tank located about 0.4Km
downstream of intake. Partially treated water is conveyed by gravity from treatment plant to
clear water tank. Clear water collected in tank is further boosted to Cheffa reservoir for gravity
flow through distribution lines to the service areas.
Raw water samples were collected twice from the proposed source at different periods.
Based on the laboratory test conducted for the river raw water samples, high turbidity was
recorded during rainy season. So treatment plant is vital to enable it potable. Slow sand in
combination with horizontal roughening filter was proposed to treat the raw water. The
treated water is stored in clear water tank and is then boosted to Cheffa Transfer reservoir
for gravity flow through the Western and Eastern distribution systems to the commanding
areas. The distribution System embraces structures such as service and transfer tanks,
pressure break tanks, Water points, cattle troughs, washing basins, showering rooms, river
crossings, valves like (washout valves, air release valves, dismantling joints etc).
Detail Geotechnical investigations were done along pipe line routes, at structural locations
(reservoir, treatment plant, head works etc). Hydrogeological investigation was done to
invent the existing water sources and to propose the source for this project.
Environmental and social impact assessment study was done for identifying the positive and
negative impacts and indicating the mitigation measures.
Institutional and organizational management study was done to design operation and
management system (staff structuring, tariff establishing etc).In the same way, socio-
economic study was carried out to identify socio-economic base of the area.
Hydrological study was done to estimate the minimum and maximum flow of the Wabe
River.
Watershed Management study was undergone to identify the climate risks that might affect
the sustainability of the water supply system. The hazard, exposure and vulnerability of the
area were studied in detail under this category of study.
Structural analysis was done to make the project stable, safe and economical.
Electromechanical design was carried out to fix electrical load, pump capacity and to
mitigate water hammer in the transmission main.
The previous project design categorized into 3 construction phases excluding access road
bill of quantity depending on the Client will to search budget source for the road from
Oromia Regional State was listed table below.
1. INTRODUCTION
A climate change impact on the water supply system is being a crucial issue that demands
great attentions of political leadership to undertake measures. Now we are facing problems
mainly declining the water yield, and damage of water supply infrastructure by flood.
The poor quality and low quantity status of drinking water initiated government and WASH
development partners to bring the water safety issue upfront for discussion on MSF-5 and
reached consensus to develop national strategic framework and guideline for water safety
plans so as to address the above mentioned challenges.
Thus, this study will focus on how to describe the rural communities can get and sustain Safe
and adequate drinking water by developing and implementing their own CR-WSP.
Furthermore, quality of the existing water sources is under threat as a result of poor
sanitation, open defecation (exclusively practiced by 85% of the existing Kebeles (Woreda
Health Office-2011 EC,).
Degraded micro-watershed has significant on the sustainability of the water supply. In the
one hand, degraded micro-watershed has low recharging capacity of the ground leading to
decreased yield of the water point. On the other hand, degraded micro-watershed generate
more flood that may damage the water supply infrastructures and cause contamination of the
shallow groundwater and surface water sources.
1.2 OBJECTIVE
The objective of the assignment is to carryout water supply status assessment study,
identification of Kebeles and villages/gots most prone to the problem and need urgent
intervention. Based on the findings of the assessment, undertake water supply feasibility
study for the selected, kebeles/villages/gots and prepare detail design based on the outcome
of the feasibility study.
1.3 SCOPE
The scope of the assignment includes;
By reviewing sector policy and development strategy documents to be well acquainted with
the sectors requirement in fulfilling the assignment.
Using primary and secondary data to carryout reconnaissance water supply status study to
identify Kebeles/Villages/Gots most prone to the water supply problem.
Carrying consultation with the Woreda and Regional water sector stakeholders on the
outcome of the reconnaissance study and agree on the Kebeles/Villages/Gots for which
feasibility study needs to be done,
Including Climate Resilient water source options demonstrating with multi criteria decision
making (MCDM) technique like the technical, financial, environmental, O&M management,
and etc.
Carrying out geological, hydro geological, hydrological and geophysical study of the
potential water sources (groundwater, surface water, spring, etc.) of the area and determine
the location of the intake site (borehole drilling site, surface water intake site, spring, etc.)
and the expected safe yield of the source.
Cutting edge technologies like GIS, remote sensing from high resolution platforms and
robust techniques have to be deployed for investigation of resilient water sources and have
to be validated & justified with possible ground truth.
Carrying out detail design of the feasible option including the technical design (analytical
report, technical drawings, specifications, engineering cost estimate), environmental studies,
the water tariff for cost recovery and its affordability with the willingness to pay, the project
implementation plan and the bid document.
Multi-woreda, Multi-kebele or Multi-village and linking rural urban water supply system is
a preference if this is justified by the technical and financial study and its viability for O&M
management at local level.
Water demand computation has to take in to account the prevailing sector standards, include
institutions like schools, health facilities and others.
Livestock watering has to be considered if there is no perennial preference within reasonable
distance in the area and all possible options have to be thought for optimal system design
Discussions were made with the beneficiaries on the water scarcity problems
for human and their cattle.

2.1 GENERAL
This chapter briefly describes the design criteria and basic design parameters to be used
for designing water supply unit components. In all design of units, the use of locally
available materials will be given priority. Besides, the maximum use of existing water
supply facilities in the project area should be considered, where appropriate.
Planning and designing of water supply development should be based on the design criterion
which has to be prepared and agreed with the client. Particular attention has been paid to
household incomes in setting design criteria, determining population and water demands
criteria, and affordability of services.
Though the design criteria have been prepared in a separate chapter, summary of the
relevant components will be presented in consecutive sections for clarity and understanding
of the planning and design processes.
In addition, the procedures for computer modelling of the proposed water supply system
will be outlined. Data base formation and computer modelling of the water distribution
network are the most important steps for efficient and effective design of system
components. The procedures adopted for building data base and modelling the system will
also be outlined.
2.2 DATA COLLECTION AND ANLYSIS
ii) Methodology
Sampling Design - With regard to the sampling design of the study, random sampling
and quota/purposive sampling methods was applied to come up with reliable and sound
data for the study. The socioeconomic study has deployed both quantitative and
qualitative data collection methods.
To generate the necessary data two major sources of data were used in the socioeconomic
study: primary and secondary data sources.
Primary Data Sources and Data Collection Instruments - With regard to primary data
collection, interview questions (applied schedule method to generate data from
respondents) has been prepared and used in gathering the necessary data from the existing
households in the water supply development areas. Primary data that were used for the
study of the project have been collected from direct beneficiaries of the community
through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). These have been undertaken through
preparation of check lists and follow up step by step the enumerated items. For Focus
Group Discussion (FGD) the communities are selected from elders, religious leaders,
community leaders, women and youth in the project areas.
Secondary Data Sources - For secondary data collection purpose, reviews of reports
and documents have been under taken at districts and other levels. In addition data was
collected from the sector offices on social services and distributions, livestock population
and human population. Besides, documents such as CSA population data, specifically
household size and population projection for the project areas, are considered and applied
in the study. In addition, study documents/reports for previous phase water supply
projects was thoroughly reviewed
Data Processing, Analysis and Synthesis -The data collected for the study through
various ways were organized and duly processed and analyzed by using SPSS and
interpreted to present the general socioeconomic situation of the project area. Different
data that was collected from the field through various data collection
methods/instruments were analyzed and synthesized to validate the findings of the
socioeconomic study.
Based on the information obtained from the socio economy study of beneficiary Districts,
administrative officials, and CSA population and house census 2007’s growth rate, the
population (2011/19) of the project area is projected to be 112,364 for the previous
design. Additional 16,556 base population (2022) for community nearby the revised
water source (Kata Dibe Dam on Dhare River/stream) and along transmission line.
Mean annual river inflow at dam site were estimated to have a value of 101MCM (3.206
m3/s)
A maximum Discharge of 287.8 m3/s corresponding to 1000 years return period routed
outflow at Kata Dibe dam.
Total Reservoir area is 1.363km2
Reservoir storage is 11.4MCM at FSL of 1376m.a.s.l
Assuming a design life of about 25 years and trap efficiency ranges from 80 to 90%, the
annual sediment deposit is 0.012 million m3 and throughout the design period, the
accumulated sediment in the reservoir will be 0.3 million m3.
Dead Storage is 0.6MCM
Live storage Volume is 10.8MCM while 9.5MCM per year water demand is needed and
the storage relative to the demand is sufficient to fulfill yearly human & livestock
population demand.
Dam height is 20.2m
Dam length is 690m
Spill way length is 60m
The crest level (Normal Reservoir Pool level) is at 1376m and the maximum water level
corresponding to 1000 years routed outflow is 1378.35 m i.e. with flood lift height of
2.35m.
The structure comprises side channel spillway, chute and terminal structure.
The spilled water leaving the terminal structure due to a maximum discharge of 287.8
m3/s corresponding to 1000 years return period will join the natural Dare River by spill
way of 60m long.
i) Method of Investigation
Desk study had been conducted that includes review and analysis of previous works such
as available geological maps and study reports
Site reconnaissance survey
Detail geological survey along the proposed Reservoir sites, Booster station sites and
main pipe lay route.
Excavated exploration holes / pits
Field in situ testing of materials mainly with respect to foundation bearing capacity of
materials characterizing the intended structures
Asses availability of materials found along the proposed main pipe route lay
Laboratory testing and analysis of soil materials
Data compilation, analysis and interpretation
Report production
In order to synchronize the data collected with the national grid system, reference points were
established with the help of data obtained from other existing references (Existing Bench
Marks) and fixed GPS was used to establish points of known elevation.
Surveying activity for collector pipes, transmission main, river intake site, treatment plant,
and reservoir sites are carried out first by transferring a known bench mark from the previously
established bench marks for the project and further fixing the Bench mark with the help of
fixed GPS. Then these points were established at all points ‘of major structures sites, intake
structures, treatment plant, pipe route, and bends and at convenient interval suitable for
upcoming construction activities.
The benchmarks are also recorded in such a way that it can indicate their value and access in
the form of sketch. Other benchmarks are also established on the existing permanent features
and included in the layout drawings produced for detail design. Lists of Bench Marks are
provided with detail geographic location for in the drawing album.
Topographic survey are conducted for well filed collector pipes, on transmission main,
reservoir sites and pumping station compound. Topographic drawings are prepared for the
transmission main with appropriate scale which can show clearly pipe trench lines,
obstructions, and permanent structures. Layout of the pumping station compound indicates
the area requirement of infrastructures and arrangements of pump house, generator house,
reservoirs, chemical house, and other structures constructed in the compound. Profile of
pipelines is prepared from detail surveying of the pipe route.
Detail profile surveys along the pipe line alignment of transmission main, river cross section
and treatment plant sites are carried out with additional cross sectional points are taken in
detail for stream and gulley crossing.
Conduct public health campaigns to mitigate the risks and impacts from population influx
and behavioral change during the construction phase.
Provide labour opportunities for local residents, especially the directly affected
households, women and youth
including best practice health and safety provisions in the construction contracts and
ensure strict compliance
The siting of the primary reservoir at Melka Oda/Chefa hill must be fixed for command
reservoir
The ESMP consists of the following components, as further described in the ESIA report:
Construction contractors’ ESMP
Community health, safety and security plan
Stakeholder engagement plan
Monitoring plan
In addition, a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) will be prepared and implemented prior
to the start of the construction works. The planning and implementation of the RAP shall
be guided by the World Bank / FDRE safeguard policies and standards and by national
legislation.
2.6.4 COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS
Improved water supply and sanitation services can result in a number of economic and
social benefits. The most significant are:
Reductions in cases and deaths associated with diarrheal disease
Reduction in indirect adverse health impacts through reduced mortality rates and
malnutrition
Benefits resulting from the reduced distance to a safe water such as reduced work burdens
and time spent on fetching water
Economic benefits related to reduced health service costs as well as reduced losses of
productive time due to disease and to a reduction in premature mortality
2.6.5 DECOMMISSIONING
It is anticipated that the lifespan of Lega Hidha Multi-Village Water Supply Project will
be at least 20-30 years and probably considerably longer if the scheme is built with high
quality materials. When the operational phase ends, it will be necessary to decommission
the scheme. Impacts associated with decommissioning are similar to those of the
construction phase. It is therefore recommended that a decommissioning plan will be
prepared before the start of the decommission operations, taking into account the
applicable legislation and environmental/social conditions prevailing at that time.
2.6.6 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Lega Hidha Multi-Village Water Supply Project is designed to provide sustainable
and climatic resilience water supply system which is expected to greatly improve the
socio-economic and sanitation conditions through the district. The project is also
considered to be environmentally feasible. On the other hand, the land requirements for
project infrastructure would have impact of displacement on structures and property.
However, as explained above, the resettlement impact can be minimized through detailed
design by slightly adjusting the routing of the best water pipelines and reservoirs areas.
In conclusion, the ESIA consultant recommends that detailed planning of the Lega Hidha
Multi-Village Water Supply Project continues under the condition that adequate
measures are taken to address the issues arising from the ESIA study, including design
issues and all other environmental and social management actions as outlined in the ESIA
report.
The design period of the project was set to 20 years and divided into two phases (stages),
with each phase holds a period of 10 years. Phase-I water supply system had been designed
to meet water demands of population for the last 10 years considering 2021 as the kickoff
year for operation. The design period of Phase-II will cover the period from year 2022 to
2042.
The Central Statistical Authority has established an annual growth rates for population
projection from 1995 up to the year 2030. Hence, in projecting the future population sizes
of the project area, the country level CSA’s growth rates is referred for this study.

1) FLOW VELOCITIES
Experience shows that in many cases pipes designed to flow velocities of, say, 0.8 to 1.2
m/sec are quite at optimum conditions for long lines; however, the following flow velocities
will be acceptable:
Minimum: - 0.5m/s.
Maximum: - 1.8m/s,
For short sections, particularly at special cases, e.g. At inlet and outlet of reservoirs and
treatment plants, may be designed for different values.
2) PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
Pressure in the distribution network to be as follows:
Gravity supply from the service reservoir at lowest water level condition
As a rule, a minimum manometer head of 10m is considered as adequate during Peak Hour
Demands. However, in exceptional cases, depending on the topography of the area, lower
pressure levels may be permitted, but not less than 5 m.
A maximum of 160m manometer head, to avoid risking leaks and bursts in the distribution
system and 340m for transmission line particularly during minimum flow conditions and
when the static pressure would be dominant.
Pipe pressure classes are chosen for the maximum pressure head that may occur under no or
minimum consumption condition which is set at nil or 10 per cent of the average day demand
and the service reservoir at maximum water level.
Pipelines in the distribution system and transmission line shall withstand a maximum
operating pressure of 160m and 350 m manometer head and hence locally manufactured
PE100 HDPE pipes of pressure class of PN 10, PN16,PN25 and DCI pipes of grade K 9 have
been used as much as possible.
Pipe material: Steel pipes for all pumping mains and gravity lines with DN greater
than 450mm. DCI K-7 for all gravity mains DN up to 450
Hydraulic loss per km <10 m/km
Flow velocity: About 2.0m/s at maximum flow and 0.5m/s at minimum.
Pressure rating: maximum of 40 bars and a minimum of 10bars
2.11 VALVES AND ACCESSORIES
a) Air Release Valves
Location: Air valves are to be provided at selected high points.
Size: Air release valves compatible in size, type and pressure ratings to the system, are
selected. Therefore, single orifice, sonic type DN50 or 60 mm will be installed on mains of
diameters up to DN 450 mm.
b) Flush-out Valves
Flush-out valves will be provided taking into account draining the respective pipeline
sections in 3 - 4 hours’ time. On mains of DN 250 mm – DN 400 mm, the flush-out valve
will normally be DN 80 mm or DN 100 mm. On smaller mains and pipelines, a minimum
of DN 50 mm will be installed. Valves compatible in size, type and pressure ratings to the
system are selected.
c) Isolating Valves
Spacing: Isolating valves will be provided along the pipe profile to isolate a portion of the
system during repairs. These valves will be installed at intervals as required, their spacing
being dictated by factors such as connections to consumers and connections to other mains.
Isolating valves will be installed at maximum distances of 500 meters. However, to reduce
the number of valves, this distance may increase wherever found applicable.
Type and Size: Proposed type of isolating valve is gate valve compatible in size, type and
pressure ratings to the system.
d) Fittings
Pipeline fittings (such as bends, tees, etc.) will be as follows:
To be appropriate for the pipeline configuration, fittings will be of DI, GI, Cast Iron, and
HDPE or of uPVC where such lines are installed, similar in size and class to the pipelines will
be installed
Wherever fittings for assembling steel pipes will be required, they are to have the same
design strength as that of the pipe
Concrete manholes or chambers are designed for each valve location for protection and to
provide easy access for different purposes.
b) Trench Depth
The following considerations will govern the alignment of pipelines within the supply
area:
Transmission mains will follow the shortest route, allowing for deviations where
necessitated by topographical conditions.
Wherever possible, pipelines will be laid at road sides and verges of footpaths, pavements
or green strips.
Distribution and transmission pipelines will follow the existing or planned roads, while
observing the necessary requirements for hydraulic efficiency and economy.
Mains laid in trenches will have a minimum cover of 1.0 m for pipes of DN 400 mm and
smaller, and 1.20 m for pipes of DN 400 mm and larger.
Pipe mains under carriageways or road verges will have a minimum cover of 1.20 m.
The depth of cover will be increased as may be required where the ground level is to be
changed in future for the construction of a road, where an increased depth is needed to
maintain a minimum slope in the pipelines, where this will eliminate the need for an air
valve, or where other special requirements call for greater depth.
A minimum distance of 0.9m will be maintained from fences and buildings to the verge of
the trench for pipe laying.
c) Thrust Blocks
Whenever the pipeline changes direction horizontally or vertically or changes in size;
concrete thrust blocks are designed to resist the thrust force in the piping system.
d) Pipe Supports
Concrete supports for pipes are designed whenever the pipe is laid above ground surface
and also in situations where the foundation formations are not good
Lateral transverse anchors are designed for conditions where pipe is laid in steep slopes
The area is rich in natural construction materials such as sand, stone, aggregates for road
construction and soil for bed laying. In addition to the natural materials, pipe materials like
uPVC, HDPE, GI and Steel pipes are widely manufactured by regional and Federal states
of Ethiopia. Cement and Rebar are also manufactured indoor. This will minimize the need
of foreign currencies for procurement.
a) Computer modelling
3.1.1 Hydrogeology
The project area is characterized by different hydrogeological units. These are Mesozoic
sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks and alluvial deposits
Mesozoic sedimentary rocks
The Mesozoic sedimentary rocks are found being underlying the alluvial deposits and
volcanic rock units. Such sedimentary rocks found in the project area are sandstone and
carbonate rocks.
The sandstone rock formation is minor in area extent outcropping at places as small
patches in the area. Such rock unit is found being well bedded, loosely cemented and
affected by weathering. This feature creates favorable condition for recharge and
movement of water in the area.
The carbonate rock is found covering extensive part of the project area. It is grey
calcilutite commonly well jointed and affected by weathering. At places the rock unit is
found being affected by small solution cavities which can be considered as potential
ground water recharge sites. There are lineaments supposed to be faults affecting such
lithologic unit. Prevailing discontinuities such as faults, joints and bedding planes
including contact lines are important sites of recharge and water bearing layers. Effect of
weathering also enhance movement of water upon increasing crevices, enhancing
reaction of the bed rock with ingression water resulting open solution cavities that is
favorable for movement and storage of water. If water entered in the joints/fractures and
solution cavities, it can yield large quantities of water.
There are a number of deep wells drilled in the carbonate formations in the project area.
The wells drilled ends with relatively low discharge and some being end dry and hence
abandoned.
It is important to note that the major water bearing layers in such carbonate rock unit is
related to weathering and fracturing. Consequently, it is localized without regional
extent.
Basaltic Dyke
The basaltic rock found exposed in the area is Basaltic Dyke. It occurs mainly being
confined along prevailing major discontinuity / fault lines. It covers valley and stream
courses created by faulting and also forms small ridges bounding such fault lines.
The basaltic dyke found exposed in the area is intensely affected by fracturing. Such an
effect creates interconnected pores which can be considered as potential recharge and
water bearing layers in the area. The major discontinuity planes / fault lines and vents are
potential recharge site that enhance ground water movement and hence potentiality of the
material for ground water occurrence. Consequently, it is expected to encounter relatively
better yield in such type of rock / aquifer material.
There are considerable number of dug wells and few drilled well in the project area. Such
wells indicate presence of shallow and deep ground water occurrence of relatively good
discharge. Furthermore, at places there are seepages emerging from the rock along
prevailing toe of ridges formed by such fractured basaltic rock unit. However, it is
localized without regional extent and hence can be considered of low potential which
cannot get replenishment from regional sources.
Alluvial deposits
The unconsolidated soil overburden deposit is found covering exclusive part of the plain
land mass in the area. It is mainly silty clay occasionally with sand and gravel soil mixes,
Thickness of the material as inferred from drilled wells and valley cut sections is in the
order of less than 10mts.
The alluvial deposit in the area are generally fine / silt and clay in texture. Such a material
though of high porosity due to absence of interconnected porosity it retards recharge and
infiltration. It would rather enhance run off rather than infiltration
However, the river deposits consisting loss unconsolidated sand gravel deposit may
deserve potential recharge and shallow ground water bearing layers in the area.
3.1.2 Hydrochemistry - Water Quality
Fraction of the rain infiltrates or percolates into the ground and becomes ground water.
During its passage through the ground, the water comes in contact with many substances
both organic and inorganic. Some are readily soluble in water. Others such as those
causing alkalinity and hardness are soluble in water containing carbon dioxide absorbed
from the air or from decomposing organic matter in the soil. The decomposed organic
matter also removes dissolved oxygen from the water percolating through it. Such water
free from oxygen and high in carbon dioxide dissolves iron and manganese from the soil.
Water containing iron and manganese is favorable for the development of Crenothrix and
other similar organisms in collected ground water supplies. Hydrogen sulfide sometimes
occurs in ground water and is associated with the absence of oxygen, the decomposition
of organic matter or the reduction of sulfates.
The dissolved minerals determine the usefulness of the ground water for various purposes
and the presence of some minerals beyond certain limit may make it unsuitable for
drinking, irrigation or industrial purpose and may result in corrosion or incrustation of
tube well screen and pipes.
Prevailing major aquifers / water bearing layers in the project area are carbonate and
basaltic rock formations. Carbonates are highly susceptible for dissolution and gets
soluble when in contact with infiltrated surface water to the ground. This would cause
adverse impact on increasing the TDS and PH so that it becomes unsuitable and hard for
use to domestic purpose. However, water supply from basaltic rock aquifers is not
susceptible for dissolution and hence the water quality is good from such formations
This has been backed by the response from the targeted beneficiaries and upon testing
the water from the wells that testes hard as it was justified by the present study crew.
The other main challenge was power supply for previous design pressure line as it is
impossible to operate (run) the project with fuel load only. As per the information from
the Laga Hidha Wereda administrative officials, electric power supply from 50km
(Sawena District) for Laga Hidha Beltu town was planned by Ethiopian Electric Power
Corporation and receiving this power to Wabe River headwork was previously proposed
if the installation of power line to the town would be executed prior to the commencement
of Water Supply Project. Unless extending 76.3km power line from Sawena (Micha
town) to the project head work in collaboration with EEPC & the bill of quantity for the
previous design for safety was executed to supply power utility from 76.3km in addition
to stand by generator at booster stations. However EEPC changed the plan to solar panel
for the town though they used to commence the excavation works for the project during
the data collection for the Water Supply Project and it is impossible to operate the booster
stations’ pressure line electromechanical works by this limited power & currently there
is shortage of budget to supply electric power from 76.3km for the Water Supply project.
As the phase-I construction contract agreement was signed without considering EEP
utility other than generator with fuel, it is very challenging to operate the project with
fuel only. Those above challenges summed up and led the Consultant and Client
concerning bodies to change the water supply source from Wabe River to Kata Dibe Dam
on Dhare River as water source for the revised project. The Dam (under construction) is
located 64km from Chaffa 1500m3 ground service reservoir (under construction). So
main objective of the this study is to revise the previous Water supply design source from
Wabe River by side intake to flood water harvesting by Zoned Earth Dam of Kata Dibe
which was designed by Engineering Corporation of Oromia for irrigation purpose. This
under construction dam is located in the eastern part of previous Bale Zone (present Ginir
Zone) of the Oromia National Regional State and specifically in Keta Dibe Kebele in
Sawena district. The previous design of the project from Wabe river source was executed
in 2019 G.C and Oromia Construction Corporation (OCC) contractor entered into an
agreement with Client (Ministry of Water & Energy) & Engineering Corporation of
Oromia on Consultancy side to construct the project. Accordingly, the contractor
commenced the construction of the water supply distribution line including Chaffa
1500m3 gravity service reservoir in 2021 G.C. However, the previous 11km transmission
line with access road from Wabe River to Chaffa 1500m3 gravity service reservoir is not
still commenced due to lack of budget to construct access road. Hence, it is very challenge
full to access head work site, 5 booster stations including low head submersible pump at
intake, treatment plant and total pressure line within 11km without access road.
The water from the revised transmission line will be abstracted from the dam by steel
intake pipe with DN1200mm which is under construction. The revised pipe line is
reduced from DN1200mm to DN500mm with tee fitting connection and extended 14km
from dam outlet to rapid sand filter type treatment plant by gravity system. There are
three (3) booster stations with all necessary ancillary structures along 50km left from
treatment plant to Chaffa 1500m3 ground service reservoir. Low head submersible pump
will be installed in booster station-2 reservoir of 1000m3 to deliver water to Kelkelcha
100m3 elevated reservoir and Boditi 50m3 existing sandwiched masonry reservoir for
their community along transmission line. Even though water demand for human and
livestock to five kebeles along transmission line is considerably abstracted from the
source depending on their socio economic study, design works for Micha town,Kata dibe
kebele and laku is not incorporated in this revised design works.
The Sawena Wereda town Micha town) independently needs its own design works as it
is somewhat wider and needs the Client direction to do so, though treatment plant is
geographically located nearby kata Dibe Kebele, there are no the Kebele community
around there. In addition, Laku Kebele’s boundary is next to Boditi Kebele along the
main transmission line from booster station-1 to booster station-2.Hence the Consultant
considered all 5 kebele communities’ water demand to overcome the problem that may
arise with water demand later and incorporate 2 kebeles’ (Kelkelcha and Boditi) water
supply in this design review as they are directly along the main transmission line.
1) Proposed site for intake structure at the river during the previous
During field survey of the feasibility study, the consultant had been made his best effort
to choose and locate the intake structure to a place where the technical and economic
aspects of the project becomes safe and reliable.
UTM location X=714700.1, Y=881372.8, Z=725.61
The intake type for the project was river intake and different intake sites had been
investigated along the bank of the Wabe River.
2) Proposed site for intake for the Revised Transmission Line
Those above mentioned challenges (budget limitation to construct access road along
previous transmission line; headwork and power supply to booster stations) summed up
and led the Consultant and Client concerning bodies to change the water supply source
from Wabe River to Kata Dibe Dam on Dhare River as water source for the revised
transmission line of the project.
4.1 GENERAL
This section presents the project area population and respective water demand
requirements, which are complex and basis for deciding the capacity and investment of
the water supply system. For deciding on water demand requirements, guiding principles
such as government’s sector development plan, supporting policy statements and
strategies were identified and brief highlights have been presented under the following
subsection.
Data required for estimating the growing water demands of population have been
collected. These include demographic data such as population size, growth rate, density,
distribution and socio- economic data like public and commercial institutions and
livestock population.
4.2 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
4.2.1 SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Regional government of Oromia has committed to enhance the social welfares of
population through provision of adequate water supply and Sanitation services. Specific
targets are set in the GTP-2 for the Water Supply and Sanitation Sub-Sector (2015/16-
2019/20).
Goal 1.1
Provide rural water supply access with GTP-2 minimum service level of 25 l/c/day within
a distance of 1 km from the water delivery point for 85% of the rural population of which
20% are provided with RPS.
Goal 1.2
Provide urban water supply access with GTP-2 minimum service level of 100 l/c/day for
category-1 towns/cities, 80 l/c/day for category-2 towns/cities, 60 l/c/day for category-3
towns/cities, 50 l/c/day for category-4 towns/cities, up to the premises and 40 l/c/day for
category- 5 towns/cities within a distance of 250m with piped system for 75% of the urban
population. Summary of these goals and water supply service levels are presented in table

(Kata Dibe Dam as water source) is 217,149 out which 26,004 is additional population due to
source change.
4.5 WATER DEMAND
Water is one of the basic and essential requirements of life. The main objective of a water
supply project is therefore to provide safe water, in quantities adequate for drinking, food
preparation and personal hygiene to protect the health of communities from water borne
diseases.
4.5.1 GENERAL
Water demand is defined as the volume of water that different categories of consumer can
afford to consume in the context of unrestricted supply. The total water requirement of a
project is usually estimated by its uses for domestic and non-domestic purposes.
The basic information required for estimation of water demands are:
the study on customers’ consumption
existing water supply levels
the study on social and economic condition,
the towns’ development plan (if any) and
the climatic conditions of the project area
Since there are no current and historical records of water consumption trends for the supply
area in question; an analytical approach has to be used involving estimation of water demand
for different categories of consumers as described in the consecutive sections.
4.6 DOMESTIC WATER DEMAND
Domestic water demand includes water used for basic needs such as drinking, cooking,
ablution/baths, washing clothes and utensils, and cleaning houses. The average amount of
water used per person per day varies from country to country as well as from region to
region within a country. The major important factors for these variations are:
Level of water supply service
Percapita Demand
Climatic conditions
Level of socio economic development
Affordability and willingness to pay for the services

Socio-economically, the town can be grouped under “Towns under normal Ethiopian
conditions” with Socio-economic adjustment Factor of 1.

Total Reservoir area is 1.363km2 and planned to irrigate about 1500ha command area
during it was initially proposed for irrigation purpose & now changed to dam for Water
supply purpose on the base of transmission pipe line design review.
Reservoir storage is 11.4MCM at FSL of 1376m.a.s.l
Assuming a design life of about 25 years and trap efficiency ranges from 80 to 90%, the
annual sediment deposit is 0.012 million m3 and throughout the design period, the
accumulated sediment in the reservoir will be 0.3 million m3.
Dead Storage is 0.6MCM
Live storage Volume is 10.8MCM while 9.5MCM per year water demand is needed and
the storage relative to the demand is sufficient to fulfill yearly human & livestock
population demand.
Dam height is 23.2m on the river bed and varied to 19.7m on the center of the dam
Dam length is 690m
Bottom width of the dam is from downstream to the upstream is 120 and somewhat
decreases toward the around intake.

The total water demand required for phase II (year 2042) was around 22,116 cubic meter per
day (225.97 l/s).
The design and efficiency of treatment plant is totally governed by local environment,
specifically by temperature. According to the hydrological study, the average

Based on the laboratory test conducted for the aforementioned river raw water samples,
the quality of test parameters comply with WHO guidelines for Drinking Water
Quality. Thus, for the time being the river water can be directly supplied to the
beneficiaries or injected to the existing system after defection. Even though the
upstream catchment of the river is protected and rarely populated currently, increase in
population settlement and farm practice will be indispensible in the long run. As a
consequence, catchment deforestation and land degradation might be resulted which
have direct impact on the river quality of water. Thus taking in to consideration the
future treat of river water pollution due to the above mentioned causes, a slow sand
treatment plant is proposed to safe guard the
7.3 SLOW SAND FILTER
For over 150 years, slow sand filters have been an effective means of treating water for control
of Microbiological contaminants, first used in Great Britain and later in other European
countries. Slow sand filtration principles apply when; untreated water percolates through a
bed of uniformly graded porous sand that overlies a gravel bed (see Figure 3.-9 for diagram).
The water enters over the surface of the filter and is drained from the bottom. In a mature
filter, a rich, sticky, mat-like biological layer called a Schmutzedecke forms in the top layers
of the sand, where particles tend to settle because of the slow rate of filtration. The
Schmutzedecke is composed of biologically active microorganisms, including bacteria, algae,
and other single and multiple-cell organisms. The microorganisms break down and feed off
of organic matter in the water that is passing through the Schmutzedecke, and inorganic
particles are trapped and strained by this layer, as well. The Schmutzedecke assumes
the dominant role in slow sand filtration because it allows the process to remove particles
smaller than the sand could trap on its own. To ensure that the biological community in
this layer remains effective, the filters should operate at a constant rate. Eventually, flow
becomes reduced because the filtered material and debris begin to block up the
Schmutzedecke. To increase the flow rate, the filter must be cleaned by scraping and removing
the top layer of sand. Until the biological layer replenishes itself, the filtered water should not
be used.

Once the design parameters are selected, sizing of filter units are calculated as following.
The total area, A of filtration plant is sized based on a design flow rate, Q (m3/hr.) and the
selected filtration rate, HLR (m/hr).
Q
Area, A (m 2 ) 0.256* 3600/ 0.21 4389 , Take A=4500m2
HLR
The system should possess a minimum of two filters to ensure that one is functional
whilst the other is being cleaned. A minimum of four filters is recommended for a public
water supply for increased amount of treated water. The following formula can be used to
obtain a rough estimation, of the appropriate number of filters for a system:
A 4500
Area of each filter unit, a 250m 2

I) Filter Box
Most filter boxes are built with vertical or near vertical walls (in which case the
horizontal dimensions will be those of the filter-bed surface) of a depth sufficient to
accommodate the constituent parts (filter bottom, gravel support, filter medium,
supernatant water depth and freeboard).
Depth of filter box, d 0.5 1 1 0.5 3m
II) Total Wall length
For a given surface area and number of units having common walls, the total wall length will
vary with different combinations of (b) and (1) and becomes smallest when:

l 21.76 , Take l= 20m
18 1
(18 1) * 20.7
b 11.49 , Take b= 12.5m
2 *18
For this value of (b), the equation for the minimum wall length for rectangular filters is:
Smallest total wall length (m), L wm 2 2 A(n 1) 2 2 * 4500(18 1) 827m
The preliminary design and arrangement of filters has been depicted in the following
consecutive Figures
Once the filter bed has been laid, the under drainage system cannot usually be inspected,
cleaned, or repaired in any way without a major disturbance to the bed as a whole, and it is
therefore important that it should be so designed and constructed that it cannot become choked
by the entry of granular material from above.
The proposed filter bottom is the perforated lateral system consists of a central manifold pipe
to which are attached a series of lateral pipes with orifices (perforations) to distribute air scour
and wash water during back washing and to collect filtered water from the filtering material
during filtration process. Designing this type of filter bottom will thus include sizing of central
manifold and lateral pipes with its orifices/perforations as shown in below
The under drain system proposed is perforated PVC pipes, covered with layers of gravel
of successively diminishing grain size to prevent the intrusion of filtering medium. Figure

7.6 DISINFECTION
Calcium hypochlorite may be used as a disinfectant agent. Calcium hypochlorite has
chlorine content (available chlorine) of 65 - 70%. In the absence of this chemical, bleaching
powder with available chlorine of 35 - 37% can also be used.
The amount of chlorine dosage depends mainly on the level of the chlorine demand
influenced by many factors. As the chlorinating will be made on filtered water, an
approximate dose of 1.5 mg/l is deemed adequate. The optimum chlorine dosage is however
determined by conducting frequent residual chlorine tests. The desirable value of the
residual chlorine in the distribution network is between 0.2 - 0.5 mg/l of free chlorine and a
concentration of at least 0.2 mg/l should be available at any water consumption point.
The calcium hypochlorite is mixed with water in a mixing tank to make a solution of about
5% concentration. The mixing and feeding tanks are sized to handle 5% solution lasting for
24 hours. Taking a maximum concentration dose of 3 mg/l with 65% concentrated calcium
hypochlorite, the size of the tanks is 1000 litters.
The feeding tank may be equipped with a float controlled constant head tank with flow
indicator or a constant head flow bowl, rubber tube and a flow meter. In order to have
adequate contact time, the chlorine solution is dosed at the wet well in the clear water
pumping station. The flow from the filter clear water channel to the wet well will be
gravitational. The chlorine dose is adjusted according to the plant throughput flow rate and
is controlled by checking the concentration of residual chlorine in the service reservoir.
Calcium Hypochlorite (trade names include: “HTH”, “Per chlorine”, “Pittchlor”) are not only
twice as strong as chlorinated lime but retain their original strength for more than a year under
normal storage conditions.
Chlorinated lime (CaO.2CaOCl2) is readily available and cheap chlorine compound. This
chemical is easy to transport and not dangerous to handle if it is supplied in a suitable
container. It is white or yellowish powder containing about 33% available chlorine. It will
lose chlorine during storage. In the presence of moisture bleaching powder becomes
corrosive. It is necessary to use corrosion- resistant containers made of wood, ceramic or
plastics. These should be stored in a dark, cool and dry place. In order to minimize the loss of
chlorine a maximum concentration of 5% is recommended for a bleaching powder solution.

Pump Capacity
Capacity of a pump is the flow rate with which liquid is moved or pushed by the pump to the
desired point in the process. It is a function of total head and design discharge. Capacity is
measured in various units including liters per second, liters per minute and cubic meters per
hour. The capacity usually changes with the changes in operation of the process. The capacity
depends on a number of factors like:
Process liquid characteristics i.e. density, viscosity
Size of the pump and its inlet and outlet sections
Major loss (Pipe loss): is the friction or dynamic loss along the flow of the water inside the
pipe line, for this calculation we used Hazen Williams formula:
𝐿𝑄 1.85
𝐻𝑓𝑝 = 10.67 𝐶 1.85 𝐷4.87
Where: Hfp – Friction loss in pipe in meters
L – Length of transmission pipe in meters
Q – Discharge in m3/sec
C – Roughness coefficient for pipe
D – Diameter of pipe in meters
Minor losses (Fitting loss): is the minor dynamic friction loss along the flow of the water
passing through in the fittings, the formula used:
𝑉2
𝐻𝑓 = 𝐹𝑐
2𝑔
Where: Hf – Friction loss in fittings and valves in meters
Fc – Friction coefficient for fittings and valves (adopted from recommended tables)
V – Velocity of water in m/sec
g – Acceleration due to gravity in m/sec2
The total working pump head is:
𝑯 = 𝑯𝒔 + 𝑯𝒇𝒑 + 𝑯𝒇
Finally, the power required to drive the pump or the motor power will be:
𝜌𝑔𝐻𝑄
𝑃𝑚 =
𝜂𝑝 𝜂𝑚
Where: Pm – Power of Motor (watts)
m – Efficiency of Motor
The power supply required to drive the pump is mostly delivered either from national grid
system of electric power or from locally installed diesel driven generators.
The Pipe Sizing
The pipe sizing of the borehole and well head fittings will depend up on the capacity and the
velocity of water. The following criteria have been developed for the inside pipe sizing of the
booster pump stations:
Delivery Branch pipe 1.5 - 3.0 m/s
Delivery Manifold Pipe 1.5 – 3.0 m/s
Depending up on the above criteria, the following formula is used to calculate the pipe
diameter:
1.274𝑄
𝐷=√
𝑉
Where: - V = Velocity of water in pipe in m/sec
Q = Design discharge in m3/sec
D = Diameter of Selected pipe in meters
The procedures and methodologies adopted to determine the pump head for the boreholes in
our water supply system is as described above. Thus, the total head has been worked out for
each boosting Station. Accordingly, the result of the analysis has been presented as in Table
8-2.
NPSH was not considered in the selection of pumps for pump stations.
Because the maximum water level of the reservoir is higher than the suction head of pumps, in
reality the installed surface pumps are not affected by NPSH like submersible pumps.
Intake Gate
Since the concrete channel of the intake is 500x500mm and its intake gate is 700x700mm and
is controlled by manual hoist, auxiliary electromechanical equipment is not needed here.

Liquid hammer is the destructive force, pounding noises and vibration in a piping system
when liquid flowing through a pipeline is stopped abruptly. When sudden changes in flow
occur, the energy associated with the flowing liquid is suddenly transformed into pressure
at that location. This excess pressure is known as surge pressure and is greater with large
changes in velocity.
Water hammer is usually recognized by the banging or thumping Noise that is heard
when valves are shut off. Although this is easy way to recognize the problem, water
hammer doesn’t always make these telltale noises. Water hammer occurs when the flow
of moving water is suddenly stopped by a closing valve. This sudden stop causes the whole
column of water behind the valve to slam into the valve, and itself, like a freight train
crashing into a wall. The tremendous spike of pressure that is caused, is called water
hammer, and it not only acts like a tiny
Explosion inside pipes, it can be just as destructive.
Sudden changes such as these create a transient pressure pulse that rapidly propagates away
from the disturbance, in every possible direction, and throughout the entire pressurized
system. If no other transient event is triggered by the pressure wave fronts, unsteady-
flow conditions continue until the transient energy is completely damped and dissipated by
friction.
The majority of transients in water and wastewater systems are the result of changes
at system boundaries, typically at the upstream and downstream ends of the system or at
local high points. Consequently, you can reduce the risk of system damage or failure with
proper analysis to determine the system's default dynamic response, design protection
equipment to control transient energy, and specify operational procedures to
avoid transients. Analysis, design, and operational procedures all benefit from
computer simulations with Bentley HAMMER.
The three most common causes of transient initiation, or source devices, are all moving
system boundaries.
• Water initially coming towards the valve suddenly has nowhere to go. As water packs
into a finite space upstream of the valve, it generates a high- pressure pulse that propagates
upstream, away from the valve.
• Water initially going away from the valve cannot suddenly stop, due to its inertia and,
since no flow is coming through the valve to replace it, the area downstream of the valve
may "pull a vacuum," causing a low-pressure pulse to propagate downstream.
The similarity of the transient conditions caused by different source devices provides the
key to transient analysis in a wide range of different systems: understand the initial state
of the system and the ways in which energy and mass are added or removed from it. This
is best illustrated by an example for a typical pumping system
1. A pump (upstream source device) starts up from the static HGL and accelerates flow until
its input energy reaches a dynamic equilibrium with friction at the steady HGL.
2. A power failure occurs and the pump stops supplying hydraulic energy; therefore, the
HGL drops rapidly at the pump and a low-pressure pulse propagates downstream towards
the reservoir. Sub atmospheric pressures can occur at the high point (minimum transient
head), but the reservoir maintains downstream pressure at its liquid level by accepting or
supplying liquid as required, often several times during the transient event.

In the detail design phase of this project, a design of mechanical and electrical system, which
can safely convey the water to the target area will be made following identification of design
parameters. In this design, the following is considered:-
This part covers the design and selection of mechanical equipment and items in the booster pump
station. The data used in this preliminary design report to calculate and select appropriate mechanical
equipment have been obtained from the hydraulic design and revised and updated preliminary
design report of the project, which is done by assuming based on the site condition.
The capacity of the pumps for water supply system has been determined based on the recommended
yield and the total head calculated from static head, major loss and minor frictional losses are as
detailed below:
The head of the pumps is calculated considering the Static Head (elevation difference), Major loss
(Pipe loss) and Minor Losses (Fitting loss) summing up these three outputs the total Pump head is
determined.
Static Head = Delivery Maximum Water Level – Dynamic Water level (for boreholes)
Static Head = Delivery Maximum Water Level – Intake Minimum Water level (for Surface
water)
Major loss (Pipe loss): is the friction or dynamic loss along the flow of the water inside the
pipe line, for this calculation we used Hazen Williams formula:

The power supply required to drive the pump is mostly delivered either from national grid
system of electric power or from locally installed diesel driven generators.
The pipe sizing of the borehole and well head fittings will depend up on the capacity and the velocity
of water. The following criteria have been developed for the inside pipe sizing of the booster pump
stations:
Depending up on the above criteria, the following formula is used to calculate the pipe diameter:
D=√((1.274Q)/V)
The procedures and methodologies adopted to determine the pump head for the boreholes and
surface pumps in sprinkler system are as described above. Thus, the total head has been worked out
for each boreholes and pumping stations based on the estimated yield of the wells. Accordingly, the
result of the detail analysis has been presented below.

voltage rating of 0.6/1kV and maximum conductor operating temperature of 90ᵒC. Identifying
the nominal current, by considering V-380v/400v & P.F-0.85.
The result of the cable size is Ax B+C mm2 with a maximum voltage drop of 3% .Considering
the voltage drops, rated current and the length of the power cables, the cable cross-section can
be obtained from catalogues. The selection of power cables is based on the rated current of the
pumps and cable length to consider the resistance of the cable.
Diesel generators are the power source of pumps at all sites and It’s important as getting a
generator that can handle all our power source generation needs is one of the most critical
aspects of purchasing decision. Generators are designed as a standby power option as to
Ethiopian Electric Power Utility Transformer electric power which is used a main power source
to provide an alternate source of electrical power for the submersible pump and some lighting
system for buildings in the event of normal electrical power source failure.
To satisfy part of the water demand, in some of the well field compounds, a trail mounted
standby diesel generator sets shall be erected. At the time of mains failure, Standby diesel
generator sets shall replace the main power supply in order to supply the power requirement of
the chosen borehole and booster pump stations.
Ethiopian Electric Power Utility Transformer sizing depends on pump power multiplied by
1.732 for the three-phase pump and in this case its considers the future expansion factor, derate
factor, power factor and efficiency of motors. The details design and formulas that used in our
design is listed in each design categories.

a) Transformer sizing
A) Sizing of the Electrical Service (power transformer)
The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCO) shall provide the power transformers and
associated medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) equipment including meter units for
this Project. The items shall be installed at the borehole sites, collector reservoir and service
reservoirs. All the medium voltage works (transmission line from the nearest substation in the
power grid and the work in the transformer house up to the meter board) shall be liaison with
EEPCO.

Water hammer occurs when the flowrate of fluid in the pipe changes rapidly. It is also known
as “surge flow”. It can cause very high pressures in pipes, very high forces on pipe supports,
and even sudden reversals of flow. It can cause burst pipes, damaged supports and pipe racks,
and leakage at joints.
Water hammer can occur for any fluid, in any pipe, but the severity varies depending on the
detailed conditions of the fluid and the pipe. It usually occurs in liquids. It can cause pipes to
burst and structures to collapse.
This article will describe the solution of water hammer by hammer analysis conditions most
likely to lead to water hammer problems and the issues that pump and pipe designers and
operators can face. It also outlines some of the ways to resolve the problems.
In this part, the solution that overcome the water hammer is analyzed. below shows before and
after hammer analysis by Bentley in graphs.
As per the analysis, the required surge protection is surge vessel with its capacity having

While planning the best way the Lege Hidha CR WASH water project can be implemented,
the the whole project area can be strategically classified in to immediate, medium term and
long-term implementations periods. The area with critical water shortage at moment should
be intervened as soon as possible and those with moderate water scarcity can be addressed in
the middle term. Still there are kebeles those have water supply service for the time and these
areas can be delayed as long as the existing scheme is proving the intended purpose.
Secondly, kebeles those found to the west and south of the woreda town are categorized as
western lot and are to be constructed during second phase of construction. This phase of
construction includes Elect mechanical supply and installation left during phase-1.
The third areas cluster is those kebeles found along the western part from the woreda town.
This cluster is vast relatively.
The corresponding water supply components and expected investment cost is estimated and
presented in the next sections.
