The main focus of this research paper is to analyze and establish the necessary requirements for a water distribution system in bileshwarpura, kalol, using EPANET. The aim is to ensure a equitable supply of water to customers with sufficient pressure head, while also adhering to budget constraints. To enhance the service life and reliability of the distribution network, high-grade cast iron pipes have been considered. The design of the distribution network aims to minimize hydraulic losses and meet the minimum pressure head of 12 m, as well as maintain velocities within the range of 06 to 23 m/s. Various distribution network models have been simulated and analyzed to meet the peak water demand hour and ensure a supply of at least 135 liters per capita per day. Additionally, entropy tests were conducted to determine the optimal sensor placement in the network.
