Water Supply Pumping System

Figure 2 for more details on the construction of jet pumps see this article.

Water supply pumping system.

This is shown in figure 1 for the two alternative suction arrangements. These move large volumes of water at relatively low discharge pressures. Pumping systems design nyangasi 03 14 12 page 3 of 15 a total static head the total static head hts in the pumping system is the water level difference between the suction and delivery reservoirs. Surface water and groundwater are both important sources for community water supply needs.

A water supply system is analogous to the human circulatory system. The heart pumps blood through the arteries veins and capillaries to supply oxygen to all part of the body. The system in figure 2 is a typical domestic water supply system that takes it s water from a shallow well 25 feet down max using an end suction centrifugal pump. Main pumping stations which supply water to the distribution system will be located near the water treatment facility or a potable water storage facility and will pump directly into the piping system.

Pumps that discharge treated water into arterial mains are called high lift pumps. Although approximately 98 percent of liquid fresh water exists as groundwater much of it occurs very deep. Water supply system water supply system pumps. Frustrated by the options on the market at the time and the lack of customer support available to cottagers shopping for water pumps he perfected his own winter water system which he then patented and turned into a.

Pumps that lift surface water and move it to a nearby treatment plant are called low lift pumps. Jet pumps are mounted above the well either in the home or in a well house and draw the water up from the well through suction see single drop jet pump system diagram on next page. Many kinds of pumps are used in distribution systems. Pumps have evolved into an endless variety having different sizes types and applications.

Groundwater is a common source for single homes and small towns and rivers and lakes are the usual sources for large cities. Pumps can also be used as a booster in a pipeline network system. A water pump supplies water through primary secondary and distributor water mains to supply water to consumers and for fire. The total static head therefore depends on the site conditions between the suction and delivery.

This article covers the requirements factors of selection and types of pumps in the water supply system. Water supply system water supply system surface water and groundwater. A pumping station is used in a water distribution system for efficient and reliable transportation and dissemination of water from one site to another. Pumps which pump directly into transmission lines.

This arrangement is made to compensate for the differences in water levels.
