Human need water to survive. Therefore, a good planning a water distribution is very important to cater a sufficient quantity quality and pressure to consumers. The distribution consists of gridiron pattern of water mains to deliver water for domestic, commercial, industrial and fire fighting purposes. This dissertation describes the design of a water distribution system for Gedong Rural Growth Centre using waterCAD. The procedures of design are based on Malaysia JKR Standard, Design Criteria and Standard for Water Supply System (1989). In the analysis, three different demand scenarios such as average daily demand, peak demand and critical demand were analyzed in order to see the variation of flow rate and residual pressure. The pipe sizes and elevation of high level tank were setup to meet the requirements of JKR Standard.
