Resumen:

Water tanks inside buildings, on the ground or on roof of the building ( private tanks), are common in regions where water supply is intermittent. Modelling of water supply distribution networks with such tanks requires a clear understanding of local hydraulic processes, not studied so far. This paper presents a study of water demand and pipe flow in systems with private tanks based on laboratory model tests and a numerical model of a small distribution network. It was found that instantaneous water demand and pipe flow behaves differently in continuous and intermittent water supply networks. Instantaneous flow rate withdrawn from water distribution network pipes by home water-using fixtures is much lower in systems with roof tanks. Peak pipe flow coefficients are higher in intermittent water supply networks, compared to continuous supply networks.
