Abstract
The paper begins by providing an overview of the challenges associated with sewer network design, including hydraulic efficiency, capacity constraints, and environmental considerations. It then introduces SewerGEMS, detailing its capabilities in modeling pipe networks, junctions, and hydraulic elements. Furthermore, the paper discusses the integration of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) data and real-time monitoring systems with SewerGEMS, enhancing its utility in urban planning and management. The methodology employed in this study encompasses data collection, model calibration, scenario analysis, and performance evaluation, providing a systematic approach to sewer network design and analysis. This study observes variations such as heightened velocity in CO-57, suggesting potential areas of increased flow rates or hydraulic constraints. Despite the predominantly concrete composition ensuring consistent performance, discrepancies highlight the need for focused attention on specific segments for optimal fluid flow management. Fluctuations in the hydraulic grade line underscore the dynamic nature of the system's conditions. Characterization of manholes with specific elevation, depth, and loads emphasizes the network's intricacy. Detailed data on ground elevations, boundary conditions, and outflow rates for individual nodes, like O-1, are provided for comprehensive hydraulic modeling and effective planning. The findings underscore the efficacy of SewerGEMS in optimizing system design, improving operational efficiency, and mitigating the risk of sewer overflows and environmental pollution. In conclusion, this paper contributes to the body of knowledge on sewer network engineering by showcasing the capabilities of SewerGEMS and providing insights into its practical application in urban infrastructure planning and management. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of sewer network design and analysis using SewerGEMS for the Ramtek township, Maharashtra, India.
