Among the activites you'll find Design projects and (optional) tests.

Design project - Distribution network

In the design project, a drinking water distribution network for the town of Safi (Yemen) will be designed,
with the help of a distribution network calculation program (ALEID or EPANET).

Items:

• Project explanation (lecture) and description
• ALEID program and manuals
• ALEID input files SAFI network

In the design project, a drinking water distribution network for the town of Safi (Yemen) will be designed,
with the help of a distribution network calculation program (ALEID or EPANET).

In the introducion lecture the design project is explained:  video (27:25 min) / slides.
Further information is given in the project description.
Each student recieves for the design project an individual data set combination.

The distribution network calculation program ALEID consists of the following items:

• manual ALEID
• addendum manual ALEID 
• setup file ALEID (Student edition) (for installation on Windows PC).

The setup file installs the latest ALEID version. The presented manuals are written for the older version, but are still applicable. Newer items are more or less self explanatory.

NOTE: When downloading the setup file, the file extension sometimes changes to a number.
In this case the extension of the downloaded file should be change to "exe". Afterwards this renamed files should be runned. When installing the program choose "workstation" .

ALEID input files for the design project:

• Safi basic (.bas)
• Safi pattern (.pat)
• Safi coordinates (.xy)
• Safi project (.pro)

These files constitute a 'running' model, but do't give any relevant results.

Tests (optional) - network calculations

Optional tests to get familiar with elements in hydraulic network calculations (ALEID).

The tests for network calculations consist of 8 questions (or assignments) and answers.
For these tests ALEID data input files are available.
