Abstract
The water distribution system problem consists of finding a minimum cost system design subject to hydraulic and operation constraints. The design of new branchin network in a paddy irrigation system is presented here. The program based on the linear programming formulation is aimed at finding the optimal economical combination of two main factors : the capital cost of pipe network and the energy cost. Two loading conditions and booster pumps for design of pipe network are considered to obtain the least cost design.
