  • Abstract:
    Due to financial constraints in developing countries, water supply to various consumers is quite less than actual demand. A technique for simulation of water distribution network duly considering this low supply situation is presented. This is accomplished by satisfying an additional constraint of head-flow relationship at each node. The conventional methods just give the resulting pressures at various nodes in the prescribed demand condition. This is meaningless in a low-supply situation. The proposed method gives actual supply quantity from each node based on inherent characteristics of the system. The practical advantages are also discussed.
