Abstract

It has been indicated in the literature that the looped water distribution systems designed with Linear Programming (LP) optimisation technique are converted into tree like structure resulting in the disappearance of the original geometry in the final design. Looped networks are provided for system reliability, thus such a design approach will defeat the basic purpose of looped systems provision. Such a limitation has hindered the application of LP for the design of looped water supply networks. A methodology for the design of a looped water distribution system has been developed such that the loop configuration of the network is maintained by bringing all the pipes of the network in the optimisation problem formulation using LP optimisation method.
