Radial System

In this system, a very big area is divided in several zones and at the centre of each zone a distribution reservoir is kept which is fed by sub-main which takes water from main running across the area. From every distribution reservoir, branches or laterals radiate in all direction as shown in Figure. Radiating pipes are connected to peripherals. Therefore, the system works as a grid system without any dead end. Dividing the area into zones ensures the equalization of supply throughout the field. A zoning depends upon population density, type of locality and topography of the area. The method provides higher service head and efficient water distribution.  The system of radial distribution is display in Figure.
