Abstract In tribal village of Kharwal, water scarcity has been one of the major issues for several decades. Villagers travel long distances just to obtain few litres of water from the well. The objective of our study was to understand the water scarcity problems of villagers and how we can eradicate their day to day complexities of travelling long miles to obtain water. For this purpose, different methods and processes were used. Forecasting water demand which will meet daily requirements of villagers is a very first aspect we started with. Then, by understanding the topography of village helped us in planning an efficient water distribution system for the village in WATERGEMS. Consequently, pump selection was done which remains crucial as it would help deliver water from source using distribution network to the overhead tank in the village. Cost estimation of the plan was also done. This paper presents the glimpses of our experience and gives analysis of different sectors.
Key Words: Water Distribution System, WATERGEMS, PumpSelection,CostEstimation.

The major sources of water in the village are water supply through wells.

The geology and geography of the region is such that the groundwater therewas not abundant despite of receiving high rainfall during the monsoon season because of the typical nature of the Deccantraps. The paper explained the faults inthe ongoingpipedwaterschemessuchasthepeoplewerenot willing to pay regular tariff. The paper also listed the technical issues such as the GSR (Ground service reservoir) which was supposed to distribute water by gravity to Talwadi and Morewadi but failed because it was slightly lower inelevationthantheMorewadi’sstand post. Irregular electric supply and irregularity of the operator were also some of the reasons responsible for failureoftheimplementedschemes.
Amit Kumar et al. [7] The paper we have referred to tells us about different problems faced by people of Juwi village situated in Gadchiroli District which is located in state of Maharashtra. Parched lands, seasonal availability of water, agricultural issues, educational problems. The issue which mainly pertains to our project is water scarcity problems. In, Juwi village it was solved by using GSDA’s Dual Pump Scheme, the scheme is designed for existing well only.

During the process we understoodhow toextractinformationfrompeople.Sometimesitisdifficult to get out information, in such case we need to extract information through indirect means like through informal talks, activities, each of which is discussed in thefollowingsub section.

Ground Service Reservoir (GSR): GSR is ground level or plinth level storage tank. The plinth level is generally not more than 3 m. Storage capacity of the service reservoirs isestimated based on pumping hours, demand and hours of supply, electricity available for pumping. Systems with higher pumpinghoursrequirelessstoragecapacity.
Considering The water needof village for40 years Tank ofcapacityof30,000literisselected.
Aftersurveyingthevillagewatersourcewhichcancaterthe need of village for over 40 years, all existing sources were found inadequate. New potential aquifer source was foundusing ERT (Electrical Resistivity Test method. The Well 12m deep and 7m wide was proposed in surveyed area. Which is located in a valley South of the village.
A pump is a device which converts mechanical energy intohydraulicenergy.Itliftswaterfromalowertoahigher level and delivers it at high pressure. Proposed schematicdiagramofwaterpumpingforKharwalvillage is shown in the chart 1. Pump Capacity calculation is essential for selection of pump and Energy requirement. All the required input parameters for pumpselection are listedinTable4.3

From a purely economic standpoint involving pressurized flow, the optimum pipe size diameter is the factor that minimizes the life cycle cost of a piping system. The installation cost and the recurring costs associated with operation and maintenance are the components which were examined using the concept of time-valueofmoneyinthisstudy.

Water Distribution system modelling in WaterGEMS software-
WaterGEMS software: The ever increasing demand of Continuous water with increase in population can be fulfilled by designing efficient water distribution networksbased on advance computing systems include modern hydraulic modeling. In present study water distribution network of Kharwal village, Nasik, Maharashtra, India. Forthe design of water distribution network, study of present population, daily water demand, flow characteristics and also survey of the villageisdonewithhelpofdigitalGPS. Waterdistribution network for the villages is analyzed and designed with help of Bentleys WATERGEMS software. The schematic layout is shown in fig 5.2. This software helped in designing Water distribution network systems to deliver
NetworkLength water from a source in the adequate quantity, quality andatsatisfactorypressuretoallindividualconsumers.
Water distribution network is designed with an objective of minimizing the overall cost while meeting the water demand requirements at adequate pressures. The systemis a pipeline network consisting of one source node and several demand nodes is considered to find its optimal geometrical layout which delivers to required demands from source to destination. The software uses hydraulic model results which help in optimizing the design of complex water distribution systems and utilize built-in scenario management features to keep track of design

From several group discussions carried out with villagers of Kharwal we were able to understand water scenario of village in summer season and how it has affected the lives of the people. We carried out various surveys to understand the topography and potential aquifers which would help tofulfill the water needs of people. After finding potential water source, water distribution system was designed andcost estimation of entire project was calculated.
