PRESSURE HEAD ANALYSIS OF WATER SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OF ABUBAKAR TATARI ALI POLYTECHNIC BAUCHI USING EPANET 2.0
Sagir Yusuf A., Baba Babangida and Bukata Yakubu

ABSTRACT
This research presents Pressure head analysis of water distribution network in Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, (ATAP) Bauchi. It consist of 19 pipes of different sizes, 15 junctions, 1 tanks and one source reservoir from which water is pump to the overhead surface reservoir and then distributed to the network. The current water demand was estimated to be 596.888 m3/day. The study applied EPANET 2.0 to analyse the distribution system. The current water distribution network system was analysed and it was found that the performance of the current water distribution network system under the present water demand is inefficient with 60% of the total nodes having negative pressure head after 3 hour of simulation. It was found that out of the 15 nodes 9 nodes
