What is the most important unit in modern distribution system? Correct Answer Storage and distribution Reserviors

Concept:

Modern Distribution System:

  • Distribution system infrastructure is generally the major asset of a water utility.
  • The water distribution system is “including all water utility components for the distribution of finished or potable water by means of gravity storage feed or pumps though distribution pumping networks to customers or other users, including distribution equalizing storage.”
  • These systems must also be able to provide water for nonpotable uses, such as fire suppression and irrigation of landscaping.
  • Distribution system infrastructure is generally considered to consist of pipes, pumps, valves, reservoirs(storage and distribution), meters, fittings, and other hydraulic appurtenances that connect treatment plants or well supplies to consumers’ taps.

​Types of Water Distribution System

The following are four major types of a water distribution system,

  • Dead-end or Tree Distribution system
  • Gridiron Distribution System
  • Circular or ring Distribution System
  •  Radial Distribution System

In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong and weak arguments. Strong arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question. Weak arguments are those, which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. The questions below are followed by two arguments each numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the two arguments is the strong argument and which is the weak argument. Statement: Should water be privatised in India? Arguments: I. Yes. Private sectors are more efficient than public sector which would lead to improved water distribution. II. No. Privatisation will make distribution of water profit centric which would increase the cost of water. Not everyone would be able to afford water at high prices.
