| Abstract | The study deals with capacity expansion of water distribution
networks. a network can be optimized for an increase in capacity in future by two methods. First, it can be designed d tor a time
period and for next the time period it is expanded for the
required capacity. Secondly, it can be designed tor both the
time periods in cons ideation at present and expanded at the
beginning of next time period . In this study both these methods
are compared in terms of total cost and assumed design criteria .
Linear programming, an operational technique, is used in
formulation of these two methods. The objective function is cost an minimization whereas hydraulic and pressure conditions to be met
act as constraints in the models. Simulation with three networks
representing various practical conditions is done. According to
the results obtained , the second method comes out to be cheaper
than the first. The difference in costs tor d net work in
optimization with two methods depends on layouts, topography,
local conditions, and assumed design criteria. |
