Abstract
Network design phase is done before laying the infrastructure. As the water supply indus-try matures, there is vital interest in good pipe network designs.The study sought to assess
the causes of the numerous water supply problems faced by the Abuakwa community.To
nd the optimal solution to the pipe network system for the supply path at e cient sup-ply,a solution-oriented modelling approach can help to devise e cient automatic planning
and optimization schemes for Atwima Nwabiagya District.This thesis discusses how good
mathematical models can be obtain for real-world problems using prim's algorithm, which
model structures to minimize pipe network systems.The prim's algorithm can also help in
easy and less expensive water supply especially Abuakwa in Kumasi from Owabi Dam.The
prim's algorithm employed to nd the optimal solution was able to reduce the total pipe
network from the original network.
