Abstract
The pressure exerted on a water distribution system due to population increase and aging of
the system yields to routine assessment of its functionality. EPANET 2.2 software was used
comparatively in evaluating/analyzing the serviceability of the water distribution system in
University of Benin, Ugbowo campus. A steady state analysis was also carried out to determine hydraulic parameters such as pressure, velocity, headloss and flow. The results from the design simulation shows that the pressure gotten at all nodes was suitable for the design and the pressure results indicated a high head within the system which resulted to (90%) of the nodes operating above the adopted system pressure of 10m while the remaining 10% of the pressure was operating below the pressure of 10m.
