Impact Analysis of EPANET-Based Rural Water Supply Network Integration on Network Reliability

This paper takes a rural drinking water safety project in a district of Liaoning Province as an example, selects four adjacent townships as the research object, uses EPANET software to establish a water supply pipe network model according to the design information data provided, and combines the node-rich head mean and variance to analyze the impact on the reliability of the pipe network after the water supply pipe network is integrated. The results of the study show that pipe network integrating produces a significant regulation of water pressure at the nodes of the pipe network. The water supply pressure distribution is more uniform and the reliability of the pipe network system is higher.
