The hydraulic study of drinking water is one of the things that must be done in order to obtain a realistic perception of the network’s functioning and the problems it suffers from, As well as to reach the scientific method to expand it if required, knowing that the population density is constantly increasing, as is the urban expansion, The aim of this study is evaluated and analyzed al-karada water distribution network to determine the areas of pure water scarcity and its causes, and the study relied on the data of the Baghdad water supply administration for the year 2020 and its divisions, where a hydraulic model of the network was created for the purpose of analysis, it included a review of the pressures and speeds during the average daily demand per person of 350 liters / day and during the maximum operational design capacities of the compacts Units, the results showed that the pressures within the acceptable limits and the flow velocity are not excessive in some pipe due to the low average daily demand.
