Numerical Study and Modeling of the Water Supply Network in the Northern Region of the Province of Sidi Yacine: Wilaya of Sidi Belabbes, Algeria

Algeria is generally a semi-arid climate country, indicating water scarcity from both a hydrological and urban perspective. Furthermore, the population growth continues to increase, demanding a greater water supply. This study focuses on optimizing the existing water supply network of Sidi Yacine, which has been subject to analysis regarding storage and/or destocking in reservoirs, as well as identifying existing deficiencies in the distribution network. The study specifically targets the northeastern part of the city, utilizing simulation through the EPANET software. The approach involves field surveys to simulate the water supply network using EPANET, aiming for a better qualitative assessment of the simulation and/or modeling results. The objective is to propose alternative solutions to address current and future problems. The three scenarios applied to the model have yielded results compliant with operational standards in a section of the network. Consequently, the installation of a booster station in the study area is proposed to ensure optimal water supply.
