Water is essential element required for the sustenance of life. Demand for drinking is increasing on continual basis with corresponding increasing population. This ever increasing demand can be fulfilled by designing efficient water distribution networks based on advance computing systems include modern hydraulic modeling. In present study water distribution network of Hingna town is designed which is located at district Nagpur, state Maharashtra, India. For the design of Hingna water distribution network, study of present population, population of the three decades, daily water demand, flow characteristics and also survey of the village is done with the help of digital GPS. Water distribution network for the villages is analyzed and designed with help of Bentleys WATERGEMS software. Water distribution network systems are designed to deliver water from a source in adequate quantity, quality and at satisfactory pressure to all individual consumers. Water distribution network are designed with an objective of minimizing the overall cost while meeting the water demand requirements at adequate pressures. A study was undertaken to suggest measures for the improvement to distribution to the distribution system, which can be easily fulfill the demand for water in the town and can lead to development of the town in future. The paper presents results of analysis carried out using Water Gems for basic design of distribution system which consist of reservoir, pipe network and ESR. The design has been done for 24×7 water needs for drinking purpose. As per records, existing distribution systems will not be able to take the load of the same new pipelines are to be proposed to ensure basic water for drinking is easily available for the growing population of Hingnatown.
