Three major component of environment are atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Hydrosphere is a water component consists of oceans, lakes, and rivers which covered almost 73% of the earth surface. Human body contains about 70% of water that shows the importance of water in sustaining our life. Besides that, water also affects our daily activities. A water distribution system is required to transport water from sources to consumers or users. This phenomenon requires the water distribution system to be designed perfectly. The system must be able to provide consistently adequate quantity of water to users at an acceptable pressure as economically as possible. This project is about to design a water reticulation system for proposed Desa Ilmu Phase 15, 18, and 19 housing scheme at Samarahan Land District. The design is based on Malaysia Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) Standards that was stated in The Malaysian Water Association (WMA) Design Guidelines for Water Supply Systems (1994). The pipelines network analysis for the project are analyze using WaterCAD software that developed by Haestad Methods Inc. USA. The system is analyzed using steady-state simulation in three different scenarios; average daily demand, peak consumption, and critical demand during fire.
