What is the water main?
The main water is the primary gas pipeline used to move water from the cleaning and treatment plant to the consumer. The water network is also known as primary feeders and brings in which smaller water lines known as secondary feeders that extend the range of water distribution network. Individual structures are connected to secondary feeders to connect to the water supply. The network is a key aspect of the water distribution system, causing to keep the network in good condition to prevent drinking water supply.
Before reaching the main, water must be obtained. Water can come from underground sources, tanks, diverted rivers, collected precipitation, etc. Many communities use tanks as storage equipment for their water supply to increase water safety by ensuring that the water is widely available. The tank contains untreated water, because there is not much to treat water for storage, especially if water can be exposed to drainage from the outflow -free source.
Water treatment and cleaningY include filtration to remove microorganisms, toxins and sediments. Water can also be treated with chlorine to be without microorganisms, and in many communities it is fluoridated for citizens' health. After treatment, the water can be diverted into a water supply system, which takes the form of a large underground pipe.
In order to move the water on the head of the water, it must be under pressure. Some water distribution systems use the gravity feeding system to maintain constant pressure in the main, so at any time someone opens the tap, the water is pushed by pressure. In other cases, pump may be required for pressure. The push may be a big problem with high buildings, as water may not reach up to the upper floors and sometimes these buildings have secondary pressure systems that are used for AIN maintenance.
Many problems can arise with water. If the pressure is too high, it can cause pipe rupture. Similarly, pipes can also fail,when they are degraded, old or damaged. The network can also be accidentally damaged or interrupted by construction work, although they are usually buried deep and protected to prevent it. When the main water fails, the closure of the failure area is used so that workers can quickly replace the damaged part of the pipeline.
Some cities have problems with infrastructure with their water supply due to poor maintenance. In these regions, parts of the old pipelines have not been replaced due to worries about costs or lack of planning, and as a result these pipes fail and create water problems.
