| dc.description.abstract | Clean water as city infrastructure plays a role in supporting the development of the city.
Modern and rural cities need a good clean water system, so as to meet the needs of their
population growth. Based on the presentation of the number of house connections with
44.2% of the community has been served in the PDAM Tirta Malem service area in Karo
Regency. The problem of PDAM Tirta Malem is where the distribution of PDAM water in
Kabanjahe District is uneven. The production discharge from Lau Bengap itself is 50 l / d the
location of the Lau Bengap Reservoir itself is in Manuk Mulia Village, in its service Lau
Bengap serves 5,220 house connections in Kabanjahe District, the total population of
Kabanjahe District has a population of 73,581 people, the water needs of PDAM Tirta Malem
Kabanjahe District in a day is 3,393,000 liters / day. PDAM Tirtamalem's piping network in
Kabanjahe District uses Polyvinly Chloride (PVC) pipes. The pipe meters used vary with
sizes of 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, 250 mm and 300 mm. The simulation results
provide results in Kabanjahe District, there is negative pressure in several areas, especially
on even roads and catepuls. To serve its own service area gravity has not been able to work
optimally for water use at this time in the Lau Bentang spring service. So it takes the addition
of pumps, the addition of suction pumps and the change of pipe diameter which serves to
increase pressure in the network so that water distribution in Kabanjahe District can flow
normally. | en_US |
