SMART URBAN WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM OF GANDHINAGAR, GUJARAT

The provision of safe, reliable, and affordable water supply with efficiently managed arrangements is a key goal for the Urban Water supply

APPROACH ADOPTED

LITERATURE STUDY

1

Dubai

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE - Visionary Leadership

CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT - Dubai aims at citizen feedback of services and planning according to that.

2

Amsterdam

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE - Collaboration (Public Private Partnership)

CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT - Amsterdam citizens are themselves the problem solver and inculcate solutions in collaboration with Amsterdam government.

3

Surat

VISION - Surat Smart City Vision aims smart utilization of Surat City's potential for enhancing Quality of life for the citizens by providing equal access to best quality infrastructure.

CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT - Citizen engagement platform - This will greatly help the citizens to get connected with the government.

4

Nagpur

VISION - To be a well-planned, eco-friendly, edu-city that electronically connects governments, businesses, people and spaces seamlessly to co-create a clean, green, safe, prosperous, healthy and inclusive ecosystem

CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT - Pulse: a system which maps citizen aspirations in real time for urban development

ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Minimize Water Losses

No metering of domestic water

24.2% of Water Loss

Issues such as leakages and burst pipes, illegal connections, free connections and metering inaccuracies

Lack of Pressure

This lack in pressure results in the insufficient quantity of water being supplied to the end user

Water Supply Sources of GMC

From Source to Sink

Total 50 MLD water is been supplied from Sardar sarovar dam

After that water is supply to Nabhoi pumping station

Then taken to Water treatment plants (WTP) at Charedi and Sarita

Then travelling from three level distribution network to end users

The journey of a thousand miles

Water Infrastructure Distribution

Sector-wise Landuse Distribution & Water Demand Pattern

BUILT-USE FACTOR METHOD

Demand assessed on the scale of spatial entities using unit % area.

UNIT WATER DEMAND METHOD

Estimation based on unit water demand coefficient multiplied by number of users.

INDUSTRIAL WATER DEMAND PATTERN

INSTITUTIONAL WATER DEMAND PATTERN

MEDICAL WATER DEMAND PATTERN

RECREATIONAL WATER DEMAND PATTERN

TOTAL WATER DEMAND COMPUTATION

WATER DEMAND FORECAST

Smart Water Network Management & Monitoring System

Water Supply Line & Valve Data

Methodology for creation of Geometric Network

Flow Assignment

DELINEATING JUNCTIONS IN WATER LINE THROUGH GEOMETRIC NETWORK

Determine flow direction of edges when sources or sinks are set.

Geometric network models the flow of water through water mains  that are connected by junction fittings.

PERFORMING UPSRTREAM & DOWNSTREAM TRACE

APPLICATION OF GEOMETRIC NETWORK

Trace network elements upstream or downstream from a point.

Water utilities can determine which valves to shut off when a pipe bursts.

Find all network elements upstream from many points and determine which elements are common to them all.

Calculate the shortest path upstream from one point to another.

Environmental monitoring stations can hone in on a source of pollution in streams.
