CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1   General introduction:

Nature has endowed our country with abundant Water Resources. However, due tolimitations of topography, geology, physiographic, dependability, quality and the present state of technology, only a part of available water resources can be utilised. The utilisable water for irrigation is further limited considering other competing demands for domestic, industrial uses, recreational activities etc. It is a matter of great concern that this is happening at a time when there is an increased demand for various agricultural products due to phenomenal growth in the population. The need of the hour is, therefore, to maximize the production per unit of water, besides effecting utmost economy in water use for agriculture.

Water distribution system is hydraulic frameworks consisting of aspect such as are pipes, tanks reservoirs pumps and valves etc. It is necessary to supply water to the public; efficient water supply is of foremost importance in designing a new water distribution network or in spanning the existing one. It is also necessary to investigate and establish a good network ensuring sufficient head. Determination of flows and pressure head in network pipes has been of great amount and concern for those winding with designs, construction and conservation of public water distribution systems. Analysis and design ofpipes networks create a relatively complex problem, especially if the network rest of range of pipes as frequently occurs in water distribution systems in agriculture area.
