Abstract
This paper generalizes the class of design problems for water supply systems which can be solved by mathematical programming. The goal is to design a least cost water supply system to satisfy minimal pressure head requirements at specified rates of usage for multiple customers. The generalization shows how parametric linear programming can be used to analyze subnetworks of a large supply system and to decompose the large problem into a series of smaller problems. An example is included.
