Among the following water supply distribution system, which one is referred to as Reticulation system?

Explaination:

• The Grid Iron system is commonly referred to as the Reticulation system in water supply engineering.

• It consists of a network of interconnected pipelines arranged in a grid pattern, allowing water to flow from multiple directions.

• This ensures uniform pressure, redundancy during pipe failures, and efficient water distribution to all areas.

Additional Information

Dead End System:

• Has a main pipe with several sub-branches ending without interconnections.

• Simple and economical but suffers from stagnant water at the dead ends and non-uniform pressure.

Radial System:

• Water flows radially from a central reservoir or pumping station.

• Used in cities with zoned layouts, allows easy isolation and maintenance.

Ring System:

• Water flows in a circular loop, improving supply reliability.

• Suitable for important urban areas but more costly than grid systems.
