    A proposed design of a water distribution system using epanet for Serere District
    (School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Department of Civil Engineering, 2019) Opujan, Andrew; Acung, Dinah
    The main objective of the project was to design water distribution system using Epanet for Serere District.specific objectives • to determine the population and water demand of serere district.• to obtain topographic data of serere district• to delineate the water shed in serere district• to identify and quantify the water source.• to design water distribution system at serere district. The increased use of open water sources like ponds, dug wells which can be affected by the contaminated runoff, sharing of water sources by people and animals, has increased the pollution of the water sources and the community routinely faces water related diseases like typhoid, cholera, diarrhoea (300-500 children die every year because of water borne diseases, undp 2006). for the above stated reasons, there is need to help the community get out of these risks by design of quality water distribution system using epanet directly to the affected households from the water treatment plant.
