The document discusses the design of water distribution systems. It states that the design must satisfy water needs and minimum residual pressure at all points. It discusses pressures, velocities, and the Hazen-Williams equation for calculating head loss in pipes. Hardy's Cross Method for designing pipe networks is also explained, with the basic principle being that the sum of inflows equals outflows at nodes and the sum of head losses around loops must be zero. Steps of the Hardy's Cross Method procedure are provided.
