The distribution network is an essential part of all water supply systems. The cost of this portion of any sizable water supply system may amount to most of the entire cost of the project. This study tried to reduce the cost of the distribution system through optimization in system design. To determine pipe diameter considered in water distribution system design, a iterative procedure linked the flow analysis model and optimization model was used. Linear theory was introduced to analyze flowrate and revised-simplex method based on linear programming is used to optimize pipe diameter. This model was applied to wter distribution system with 22 and 35 pipes, and rapidly determine optimized commercial pipe diameters.
