Multi-outlet storage tanks to improve water distribution networks in India

In developing countries, intermittent water supply (IWS) regimes have become a usual mode for operating the systems. The reasons and adverse impacts (inequitable supply, deterioration of pipeline so on) IWS regime are well documented in literature; however, limited work is available on solutions to improve regime. Here, we propose application multi-outlet storage tanks overcome issues by considering field conditions India. Two real-life distribution networks (WDNs) from India were considered as case studies. optimized followed hydraulic simulation various demand situations compare residual pressure single outlet tank scenarios. results encouraging terms pressures economy scenario. Additionally, operational benefits make it an ideal low-cost intervention improving WDNs
