1 Answer

• This is also called reticulation system
• The Sub-mains , Mains ,and branches are interconnected
Advantage:
• In case of repairs a very small portion of the distribution system area will be affected
• In case of fire , water is available from all directions
• As there are no dead ends , water circulates freely
• Loss of head is minimum at all points in the system
Disadvantage:
• Maintenance cost is very high
• As every zone requires a separate service reservoir , number of reservoirs required are more and hence the system becomes costly
