Abstract - A water distribution system is designed with
considerations of various faction including expansion of investments, future and present water demands, pipe dimensions, and reservoir locations, all withing the limits of fixed budget limitations. However, while designing the same system manually the work load becomes humongous. To mitigate this scenario, the invention of water distribution system became vital. Since many existing are either outmoded or beyond one`s means. Hence, Jaltantra, open technology platform, was created by IIT Bombay scholars, with suggestions from Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP) engineers, with an intension of wide academic adoption and government utilizations. Jaltantra`s optimization algorithm considers pipe and energy costs, and future versions will inculcate GIS based demand allocation and diverse data visualizations. This review paper presents Jaltantra`s capabilities through a case study, showcasing its capacity in optimizing water distribution systems effectively. Key Words: Jaltantra, waster distribution system, Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran, pipe diameter, cost optimization, water demand.
1.INTRODUCTION Government bodies of Idia experience a challenge in ensuring the quality of drinking water reaching to citizens simultaneously maintaining budget guidelines. Engineers under such circumstances often approach with inadequate tools which prioritise pipe diameter selection but neglecting other important components of the water distribution system. There upon, much of the designing process relies in the impromptu methods or on engineer`s instincts perhaps. To solve this problem, Jaltantra was created to assist government engineers in determining various water network parts, including tanks, pumps, valves and pipe diameters. By introducing an integer linear program model, Jaltantra is able to produce an optimised, efficient and precise results with the help of streamlined design process. The Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran Is responsible for the development of multi village piped water schemes in Maharashtra. The engineers in MJP with a work force of over 1,500, imply complex decision-making progress which impacts the project costs.

schemes, aligning each design with government guided budgets for affordability and service quality. Generally, in gravity fed branched network are preferred over cyclic networks because of their cost effectiveness and unreliability of electricity supply. Contrary of decades of research on cost optimization, existing softwares like BRANCH, EPANET, and WaterGEMS predominantly focus pipe diameter selection, often ignoring critical components. Jaltantra mitigates this limitation by improvising cost optimization for pipes and tanks, with ongoing improvements to include pumps and valves, considering both capital and operational cost.

3.REVIEW OF MODELLING SOFTWARE The Jaltantra software integrates multiple aspects of network design including important parameters like geographic data population distribution and water demand while adding constraints such as budget limitations and terrain characteristics. By using sophisticated optimization algorithms like integrated linear programming Jaltantra processes this data to find optimal solutions considering factors like pipe diameter pump locations and storage time capacities to reduce cost while aligning with the specified requirements such as budget constraints. Its significant advantage lies in the capacity to heuristically optimize cost factoring the capital and energy cost associated with infrastructure By carefully selecting the optimal design alternatives and providing the intuitive visualization and analysis tool Jaltantra helps engineers and planners in developing a very efficient water distribution network its ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal
