  Author(s): Tsigabu Hailu*
  
  The efficient management of water distribution networks is crucial for ensuring reliable water supply in urban areas. This study focuses on the analysis of the existing water distribution network for the Endagebrial subsystem in Mekelle city, Ethiopia. The primary objective is to evaluate the current performance of the network and identify areas for improvement to meet the growing water demand. Using EPANET 2.0, widely used hydraulic simulation software, the study models the water distribution network to assess its hydraulic performance. Key parameters such as pressure, flow rate, and velocity are analyzed under various demand scenarios. The network’s ability to maintain adequate pressure and flow during peak demand periods is a critical aspect of the analysis. The results indicate that certain sections of the network experience low pressure, particularly during peak hours, whic.. Read More»
