A water supply system has been developed for Savar municipality, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Extensive primary and secondary surveys have been conducted to determine different features of the study area such as demographic profile, socio-economic conditions, geological settings, hydrological situation, metrological state, water demand, infrastructure, and land use patterns. Considering the base year data, different projection techniques and GIS software have been used for calculating future demand and trend analysis. Contour map and existing water table have carefully been considered while proposing the layout of the water mains. Finally, the 20 years-long master plan has been produced underpinning by the GIS maps with a detailed design and some policy recommendations for the installation and management of the proposed water supply system.
