Water is a basic need of all living beings in the world. The demand for water is increasing day by day. A plumbing system is a system of engineering hydraulics and components that provide water supply. For the development of a nation, water supply networks are very important for the development of a territory because apart from supplying water for human consumption, they serve many purposes. The water network plays a virtual role in maintaining and providing a desirable quality of life to the public, a major component of which is reliability of supply. It is difficult to provide rural residents with safe water in sufficient quantity, quality and at a satisfactory pressure head while reaching an economic constraint. EPANET software is used to design and analyze a multi-village supply system considering technical sustainability. EPANET is a computer program that performs long-term simulation of hydraulic behavior in a pressurized pipeline network. Analyzing a complex hydraulic network is a time-consuming and equally tedious task. The analysis of an illustrative nine-loop hydraulic network is therefore performed by the Hardy Cross method using the Hazen-William equation. The analytical solution for the nine-loop hydraulic network is obtained using electronic spreadsheets in MS-Excel and subsequently by modeling the same hydraulic network in the EPANET computer software.
