Design & Research For The Gravity-fed Water Supply System In The Condition Of Complex Topography

Complex terrain conditions, Gravity-fed flow, materials of the pipe, Economic-pipe diameter

In both mountain and hilly area, due to the complicated topography, the dendritic water supply system are the most applied. Based on the analysis and summary of the advantages and disadvantages of design in both local and abroad uses, we offer an optimize the system design, meanwhile, continue to analysis deeply on the economic-diameter calculation, regarding all kind of available pipe materials. Instead of using economic-velocity calculation, by means of economic method to decide the diameter of the pipeline, could be more efficient.
