Abstracts: One of the most important aspects of any town management includes water management. It is a crucial aspect as now-a-days water resources are very limited and nobody can afford its wastage. The rapid growing of the wide urban residential areas imposes the expansion as well as the modernization of the existing water supply facilities. Process automation system based upon utilization of an industrial PLC and SCADA systems including all the network components represents the best way to improve the water distribution technological process. The system includes Networking of SCADA & PLC through RS-232, specific level switch or pressure switch or level sensor distributed on a wide geographical area and control and power panels for output device. The reliable instrumentation connected to PLC & SCADA assure real time monitoring of the main technological parameters of large water distribution networks. The data acquired of SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) represent the support for optimization of the process and data- driven decision support system. The system uses SCADA implemented on PC to ensure the process supervision. The complete SCADA system for water distribution enable the user to get a high operation safety of the network, a cost effective use of equipment, energy efficiency and optimize the daily operation and maintenance procedures.
