Question

What are the four different types of water supply distribution system?

Answer 1

Answer:

The four different typed of water supply distribution system are:

a. Dead end system.

b. Grid iron system.

c. Ring system.

d. Radial system.

Explanation:

a. Dead end system:- This type of system is also termed as tree system. It is used in unplanned cities having no planing of road. The main pipe is laid along the main line and branches are taken out from this whenever required. Therefore many number of dead ends are formed due to which it is called dead end system.

b. Grid iron system:-In this system the main, sub mains and branches are interconnected with each other. The main line is laid along the main road and sub mains are taken along the minor roads and streets.

c. Ring system:- This type of system is also termed as circular system. This system is most suitable for well planned and its design is easier. It is better than the other system but it needs more sluice valve and more pipe length.

d. Radial system:- This system is adopted in those cities which have radial roads emerging from different centres. Water is supplied radially through the pipes. It ensure high pressure at all the points. This system gives very quick and satisfactory water supply.

Answer 2

Answer:

The different types of water supply distribution systems are the dead-end system, the grid-iron system, the ring system and the radial system.

Explanation:

The water supply distribution systems are divided into different types, based on where they're used, their structure, and their ultimate supplying destination.

• The dead-end system, also called the tree system, is mainly used in unplanned/underdeveloped regions, like villages. In these regions, no road planning exists. The main pipeline follows the main road, and branches are supplied to every smaller road. However, because of a lack of road planning, there's a high number of dead-ends in this structure, after which it is named.
• The grid-iron system is used in congested regions, where all the branches of the pipeline are interconnected. The main pipeline, as usual, is laid along the main road, while their tributaries go along the lanes and streets.
• Ring system, also called the circular system, is used in developed, well-planned regions, since its design is simple. It is very efficient, but needs excess pipe length and a higher number of sluice valves.
• The radial system, too, is used in developed regions, but specifically in the busy ones. These regions have radial roads with many different centres, and the pipelines follow these radii, ensuring a high pressure at all these points. This is the most efficient system yet, since its yield is quick.
