The optimized designed irrigation scheme and water distribution system to reduce the anthropogenic impact and remove the pollutants by 20–25 % have been presented. The optimal launch sequencing of the irrigation equipment has been introduced by using the study irrigation area under conditions of water resources scarcity to determine the launch sequences regardless the crop rotation used. The presented model allows to bring down the irrigation water consumption by 30 % while decreasing the working cycle of the irrigation material, specifically by reducing the number of land irrigations without any impact on the yield.

Abstract Water is a valuable resource and an elixir of life. It is intimately linked to the living standards around the world. Reducing the water stress and conserving the resource is vital. It is the need of the hour to ameliorate the conventional water resources systems to monitor the water quantity and quality parameters continuously in real-time. Smart solutions play an important role in monitoring the system parameters and make on-site measurements. This paper focuses on Smart Water Grid, an ingenious way to monitor and preserve the quantity and quality parameters in real-time by deploying remote sensors in water distribution system. It presents a review of various sensors deployed, networking protocols used and cloud platforms employed in monitoring the water distribution system. The suitable networking protocols for the water distribution systems are suggested by analyzing various smart solutions. It also proposes an architecture for an IoT-based system to monitor the residual chlorine concentration in water distribution system. Smart Water Grid using Wireless Sensor Networks and the Internet of Things enables to monitor on-site conditions and generates alerts during abnormal conditions. It can enhance timely decision making which will help in managing valuable water resources more efficiently.

The study presents the variations of the physical, chemical, microbiological and bacteriological parameters for water provided from two water resources intended for potabilisation, for use in domestic consumption and comparing the results with the legislation in force regarding the quality of drinking water. The two water resources intended for potabilisation are represented by the groundwater from the Capture of Crăciunesti (Tisa River) from Sighetu Marmaţiei and the second source of water is represented by the Firiza Dam, Baia Mare. For both water resources, the present paper presents the technological processes of treatment in order to obtain potable water, which is then distributed to the population through the drinking water distribution system. The study highlights the situation of the drinking water distribution system to the consumers in the 3 areas, the description of the catchments and the treatment technologies of the different water resources (surface water and groundwater) in order to fulfill the sanitary requirements for drinking water, as well as the results of the analyzes for the values of the physical, chemical, microbiological and bacteriological parameters obtained. The analysis of the results revealed value changes at the microbiological and bacteriological parameters only in the raw water, increased values of the turbidity in the raw water from the Firiza Dam, Baia Mare and increased values of the hardness parameter in the water from the underground resource from Sighetu Marmaţiei.

To satisfy the increasingly growing population's water demand, it is necessary to provide adequate and consistent quantities of water across the planned pipeline network. The scarce water resources must be planned scientifically and proper water distribution network can play an important role in managing non-revenue urban and rural water management. In the present work, we have applied the EPANET model for analyzing the water distribution system for a small place in Ranchi, Jharkhand. The results showed that the pressures at all junctions and the flows at all pipes are sufficient to provide adequate water for the design network. The maximum pressure was observed to be 30.04 m and the flow was also quite reasonable for transporting the water to the consumers. The study demonstrated the application of EPANET for analyzing a water distribution system and should be used to check non-revenue urban and rural water management.

Access to water is extremely important in schools around the world, where students spend most of their day. As schools expand, particularly in areas with limited water resources, it is necessary to develop and manage water resources to ensure their sustainability. In this article we describe a method of analyzing water piping distribution networks using an open-source software package that allows practitioners to model the increased demands on water distribution systems associated with school growth. The methodology was then applied to the case study of a community-level water distribution system in rural Tanzania. This method is valuable because it is both condensed and easy to follow for those in the field with or without technical backgrounds. Minimal tools are needed for practitioners to develop their own system models (only a GPS, tape measurer, bucket, stopwatch and access to a computer with the software downloaded). Overall, this condensed written resource is more accessible than others available to many practitioners and thus improves the ease of modeling for pre-planning and analysis of expansion or other water distribution system modifications.
