About this title

Synopsis

Plan and calculations for a scalable city water system.

This thesis presents an economical design for Park Ridge, Illinois, aimed at supporting future growth while ensuring reliable pressure and fire protection. It combines maps, population planning, and hydraulic analysis to outline a complete distributing system.

The work frames what a city’s water network needs to deliver now and as it grows. It covers how to use existing mains, where to place new mains and hydrants, and how to size pipes to balance cost and performance. The study also examines current supplies and projects water needs for ten-year growth and full development, including storage capacity to handle domestic use and fire demands.

How population distribution guides water demand and pipe sizing
Methods for locating and sizing pressure mains across city sections
Step-by-step design of a multi-section distributing system with fire-flow considerations
Assessment of present supply and future needs, plus tank capacity planning

Ideal for readers of urban planning, civil engineering, and infrastructure design who want a clear, practical roadmap for municipal water systems.
