Analysis of water supply system characteristics and water hammer protection measures in hilly towns

Abstract The terrain of hilly areas is undulating. The water supply system of small towns in this area is characterized by small scale of water consumption, large variation of water quantity, complex operation of pipe network, frequent start and stop of pumps, poor integrity of pipe network and low safety and reliability. Therefore, the layout and operation management of water supply pipe network caused many problems, and the water hammer protection of pipe network can not be ignored. Taking K town in typical hilly area as the object, the characteristics of water supply are investigated and analyzed, and the water hammer and protection measures are analyzed, in order to provide reference for the safe and stable operation of water supply network in small towns in hilly area.
