Abstract:
Standard calculation of water supply networks takes a lot of time and requires high accuracy while computer programmes for this purpose are very expensive. A computer program has been made to reduce the calculation time and to increase the accuracy of the calculation with no additional cost. The program is fully automatic and does not require previous experience and advanced computer knowledge to operate it. There are two types of water supply networks, branched and ring-type. Ring type consists of a series of closed loops (rings) surrounding the consumers and supply them with water through branches (sections). This type of water supply networks has an advantage over branched type because they do not require stopping of water in the entire network in a case of exclusion of certain parts of the network. When all input parameters are known, it is necessary to calculate the diameters of all sections and meet the required pressure drop in each of them.

Key words:
ring water supply networks.
