Faculty of Civil Engineering Project: Water Distribution System Design

This civil engineering project focuses on the reconstruction of a water distribution system in Kampung Bukit Hangus, Kedah, Malaysia. The project addresses the existing water supply issues in the village, including limited access to clean water and frequent disruptions. The project objectives include identifying alternative water sources, determining suitable water sources, developing effective water delivery methods, and designing a systematic water distribution system using EPANET software. The project scope includes pre-design site visits, analysis of potential water sources, and the selection of an efficient area supplying clean water at a low cost. The report covers project background, problem statement, objectives, scope, and guidelines. It details the project location, feasibility study, existing water supply system, population projections, and water demand. The development criteria include design criteria, water quality assessment, and a comparison of different water supply options. The project design includes process flow, plan layout, catchment area selection, sand filtration, disinfection, water tank design, pump selection, and water distribution system analysis using EPANET. The project also includes a safety and health plan, sustainability plan, and economic evaluation, including cost analysis and tariff considerations. The project concludes with a summary of the project and its findings. The project aims to provide a cost-effective and sustainable water supply solution for the community of Kampung Bukit Hangus.
