The need for water for home, agriculture, and industrial purposes is increasing as the population grows. As a result, the most efficient use and conservation of water are critical. Water provision to an ever-increasing population with limited water supplies is becoming increasingly difficult. To address this issue, new or updated water distribution networks (WDN) must be designed. STANET, LOOP 4.0, EPANET 2.0, and WATERGEMS software can be used to tackle such difficulties. The combined WDN of the elevated storage reservoir (ESR)-21, which is part of the water distribution system (WDS), is made up of a newly installed and proposed pipe network in Sabarmati western zones. This combined network has been intended to accommodate the population of 2053. The WDN of ESR in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) west zones is analysed to ensure that water in sufficient quantity and pressure is delivered to the various consumers in the year 2053, and the combined WDN is analysed for the population of the year 2053 using EPANET software. The EPANET results show that the pressures, flows, and velocities in all pipes are sufficient to supply water to the whole WDN. The findings of this study will assist hydraulic engineers in quickly analyzing WDN and will also act as decision assistance.
