What is the distribution system described in the below image is? Correct Answer Grid Iron

Explanation

Dead-end System:

  • It is also called a tree system, it consists of one main supply line, from which originates (generally at right angles) a number of sub-main pipes; Each sub-main is then divided into several branch pipes, called laterals
  • This type of distribution system is suitable for older towns that have developed in a haphazard manner, without properly planned roads e.g. old cities, irregularly grown cities, etc; It is economical and simple

Gridiron System:

  • It is also known as an interlaced system or reticulation system, the mains, sub-mains, and branches are all connected with each other
  • There is no dead-end in the system as looping is provided and is most suitable for well-planned cities.
  • There is equal pressure in all pipes and multiple flow path.

Radial system:

  • If a city or town is having a system of radial roads emerging from different centers, the pipeline can be best laid in a radial method by placing the distribution reservoir at these centers
  • The water from the distribution reservoir is then supplied radially to distribution pipes and thus also known as zonal distribution

Ring System:

  • It is also called a circular system; In this system, a closed ring, either circular or rectangular, of the main pipes, is formed around the area to be served.
  • The distribution area is divided into rectangular or circular blocks, and the main water pipes are laid on the periphery of the blocks
  • This system is very suitable for towns and cities having well-planned roads.
  • It is economical and the pressure at the ends are reasonably equal
