Summary:On the basis of the traditional linear programming model,this paper presents a optimal design mathematical model of gravity branch distribution network. Considering the coupling constraint, the model takes the length of main and subordinate pipe having standard diameter as decision variables. The minimum works investment is taken as objective variable, and the MATLAB is used to solve. There are a better result in the optimal design of branch distribution network with this method in the application cases, and which can provide a basis for the rural drinking water safety project.
