HI, 

I do not know your project nor whom you are working for. 

However I have worked professionally as a consultant On Many Water Supply, 
a few Sewerage projects and to a lesser extent on Stormwater projects. I 
also had my own water supply network software (before commercial software 
were easily available)  with which I have done network planning for many 
large projects in different parts of the country.

With that background I would say For a large city these kinds of projects 
involve a large PAID team with expertise in their own areas. Say my area 
was design and Hydraulics analysis but I can not work without another 
member without a GOOD site experience. So trying to look at these things 
just a s a software problems and getting help online may not really work.

The most important part to start with is a real land survey to get actual 
ground levels. There is no way they can be estimated from anywhere.
Unfortunately newer people do not understand the complexity of the issues. 
Also we try to fudge everywhere including survey. 

Your exercise will also involve analyzing the entire network existing and 
proposed.

So any help from someone other than without a domain experience and 
 responsibility against payment will be much less than a milligram of 
lipstick.

If you think you can put together things from here and there, you cannot. 
If you could then you would not have asked here. 



*Availabee Digital elevation model is useless (inadequate) for this 
project.*

Knowing Bangalore as the city where I will shift in near future and I live 
there (ALSO). I would say the following specifically about the city. 

Since it is highly undulated city there are advantages that you will get a 
good gravity assist in the network. But at the same time you will have many 
points from which sewage will have to be collected and pumped to the STP. 
This complexity and planning is HUGE.

I just hope (for the sake of the city) that nonone is working with a 
shoestring budget on this one. Or the shoestrings are controlled by some 
other strings.

Apologies for being forthright and clear on the issue.
